Nobody has given Fulham much of a chance against Liverpool in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and there was a moment on Tuesday afternoon when the manager, Marco Silva, acknowledged that.
It is not just Fulham’s lack of pedigree; they have contested just seven major cup semi-finals in their 145-year history, winning two, and have never won a major trophy. It is because this is Liverpool, so richly decorated, bang in form and 2-1 up from the first leg at Anfield two weeks ago.
