Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is a big fan of Fulham manager Martin Jol.

Last season, Craven Cottage was the scene of one of Liverpool's finest displays of the campaign when they ran out 5-2 winners in May, but Dalglish knows the Cottagers will provide a tough test.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "Fulham have done well. It's difficult when there's a change in management and obviously that's their third one in a short space of time. Roy (Hodgson) was there first, then Mark Hughes came in and now Martin Jol is in.

"Martin is a good coach, so I'm sure they'll respond well to his thoughts. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time to put your own thoughts into the team, but Fulham are very good at home and very unlucky against Spurs in a game I saw there.

"We know it's going to be a very difficult game. We also know we went there and won 5-2 last year, but we got our reward for that by getting three points. We'll only get what we deserve from the game and the effort we put in on Monday night.

"It's the same every time we go to play a game - they're always going to be difficult games - but at the moment I think we're making it difficult for other teams as well."
