Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer insists Liverpool can expect a tough battle on Saturday.

He said: "We're playing against Liverpool on Saturday, and we've drawn against them this season at Anfield and hopefully we can get a good result at home - we're confident as anything at home regardless of the opposition.

"You want to play well against a team like Liverpool because they're quite rightly regarded as one of the best teams in the world. We have a lot of respect for them but we want to get one up on them as well.

"There are eight games to go and we've got some very difficult games to come and we'll take each game as it comes but we definitely want to finish in the top half of the table. If we can continue our current form over the coming games who knows what will happen."
