Craven Cottage is the venue, as Fulham versus Liverpool wraps up Gameweek 14 on a bitterly cold Monday night. Braving the unpleasant conditions outside, the Dugout Discussion is open once more. Martin Jol and Kenny Dalglish have handed their team sheets in, and this is how the sides line-up tonight…

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Kelly, Senderos, Hangeland, JA Riise, Murphy, Etuhu, Dempsey, Ruiz, Zamora, Dembele.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Enrique, Skrtel, Agger, Henderson, Adam, Spearing, Bellamy, Carroll, Suarez.

The hosts make one change to the side that drew at the Emirates, as Steven Kelly comes in for Chris Baird at right-back.

As for the visitors, the devastating injury to their star defensive-midfielder Lucas, means that Jay Spearing comes in as his replacement. Elsewhere, Andy Carroll partners Luis Suarez up-front, and surprisingly there’s no reward in the form of a starting berth for Maxi Rodriguez, who’s enjoying somewhat of a purple patch at the moment.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom can be found by clicking here, so come in and follow all the action as it unfolds.

      Hmm maybe on the Yak, Ba, Long and Larsson would have been a 1/10 of the price and theyre all 10 times better

    think murphy could get the 3bps. a yellow and a load of shots off target could hurt dempsey

      BP's seem heavily weighted towards goal scorers on the winning team, especially in 1-0 wins ala Hernadez picking up 3 pts for his lone attempts on target a few weeks running.

      Mind you, I'd be happy with your prediction - my mate has Dempsey and is counting on the 3 pts to get his useless team over the 50 pt barrier

    Suarez owners - keeping him for QPR at home or selling? (I'm suffering from 1 more week syndrome).

      He's no worse than having Rooney (in fact better as he's cheaper!)

      I might do the same, but Ba away to Norwich is tempting.
