It doesn’t get any easier for Fulham as they travel to Liverpool for a Premier League clash on Wednesday.
The visitors will be much-changed after their 2-1 loss to Manchester City.
Fulham captain Tim Ream’s season ended prematurely as he suffered a broken arm in the home defeat.
The American defender, who conceded a penalty to allow City’s Erling Haaland to score early on, fell awkwardly after slipping and went off with his arm in a makeshift sling.
“It looked clear Tim Ream will not play for us this season, broken his arm,” Fulham manager Marco Silva said.
Tenth-placed Fulham also had midfielder Andreas Pereira carried off on a stretcher in the second half, adding to their problems with forward Aleksandar Mitrovic suspended and midfielder Willian also out.
Fulham have lost two in a row as they head to Anfield. The home team are rejuvenated after a breathtaking 4-3 win.
Diogo Jota scored a stoppage-time winner as Liverpool clinched a barely-believable 4-3 Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur to bolster their hopes of qualifying for Europe on Sunday.
It was their fourth win in a row.
Liverpool had led 3-0 inside the opening 15 minutes as for the second successive Sunday Tottenham’s defence crumbled, but the visitors stormed back and substitute Richarlison’s stoppage-time header appeared to have earned his side an unlikely point.
But Jota, also on as a substitute, punished a mistake by Lucas Moura to break Tottenham’s hearts and fire Liverpool over the Londoners into fifth place in the table.
