Pop quiz, hotshot.

Which of Liverpool’s next two games is more important: Fulham (H) or Paris Saint-Germain (H).

It’s the Fulham game we’re covering today, so let’s try to hype that within an inch of its life make the case for that being the big one.

It’s pretty simple: Liverpool have a 5-10 per cent of overcoming a 2-0 deficit against one of the greatest club sides in modern history, so they should prioritise qualifying for next year’s Ch£mpion$ League.

Next stop, rocket science.

Liverpool have a tough Premier League run-in, including matches away to Everton, Man Utd and Aston Villa, and their home form will probably determine whether they finish in the top five.

Even allowing for some good recent home form – Liverpool have scored 24 goals in the last seven games at Anfield – this is unlikely to be an easy night.

Fulham can give any Premier League team a game, as they showed that last season when they took four points off a Liverpool side that romped to the title.
