Dalglish promises no let-up against Fulham

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has insisted he will field a strong line-up for the Premier League meeting with Fulham at Anfield on Tuesday, even though the fixture comes just four days before the showpiece FA Cup Final clash with Chelsea at Wembley. The Merseyside club made five changes for Saturday's league visit to Norwich where they recorded an impressive 3-0 win thanks to a hat-trick from controversial Uruguay striker Luis Suarez. Forward Andy Carroll was left out of the Liverpool squad entirely at Carrow Road with a slight injury as Dalglish clearly kept an eye on Wembley where Liverpool have the chance to put a dismal league campaign behind them by adding the FA Cup to the League Cup they have already won this season. Suarez's devastating performance at Norwich must surely mean he has a chance of being rested against Fulham, although his manager was adamant that whatever line-up he fielded on Tuesday would represent a strong side. "I just know he played very well," Dalglish said of Suarez. "He scored three fantastic goals and we get three well-deserved points. "Other people can catalogue his performances, and put them in level of importance for us, but it's just important that he plays for this football club," the Liverpool and Scotland great added. "He's a fantastic footballer, nothing he does surprises you, whether it's his vision or passing, his shots or his goals. It doesn't surprise you. We're just delighted that we have him playing for us. "We'll pick a side on Tuesday night that does this club justice. I think we have conducted ourselves well in all the league games and cup competitions that we've played and I see no reason why that would change." Given Liverpool's wretched home league form - just five wins from 17 games this season and, now, more points on their travels than at Anfield - Dalglish is presumably desperate to win their remaining two home fixtures, against Fulham and Chelsea. And Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard recognised the importance of taking on the UEFA Champions League finalists Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday with the confidence of another victory behind them. "We want to go into the final in good form," Gerrard told the club's website. "We've got a game against Fulham now which we want to win and then we can get ready for Chelsea. "I'm happy with the way things are going at the moment. On a personal level I was left out as a precaution last weekend but I'm fine and ready to enjoy the end of the season." Fulham's Merseyside woe Fulham's hopes of finishing in seventh spot were hit when their four-game unbeaten run was ended by Everton's comprehensive 4-0 victory over Martin Jol's side on Saturday. Australia international Mark Schwarzer, Fulham's goalkeeper, said he hoped the defeat would spark a positive reaction at Anfield. "Some pretty harsh words were said in the dressing room at half time and after the game so hopefully we can pick ourselves up and make sure we perform far, far better against Liverpool," Schwarzer said. "We need to because otherwise it's going to be a very difficult week."
