Brendan Rodgers calls for Liverpool repeat against bottom club Fulham
Liverpool boss wants same intensity shown against Gunners when they face bottom side
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has challenged his players to match the intensity they showed against Arsenal when they travel to bottom of the Premier League Fulham on Wednesday night.
The Reds are on course to end their five-season exile from the top four and the Champions League and underlined their claim on fourth place with a 5-1 win over then leaders Arsenal at the weekend.
Southampton and Manchester United are the only sides presently in the top half of the table that Liverpool, now unbeaten in eight matches, still have to visit in the league this season.
Every game is critical for us whether it's a top team or a team at the bottom. Fulham showed against Manchester United that they've got some very good players, they showed great resilience in the game and took the lead

But Rodgers believes the Cottagers will provide a stern test after drawing 2-2 at Manchester United on Sunday.
"Every game is critical for us whether it's a top team or a team at the bottom. Fulham showed against Manchester United that they've got some very good players, they showed great resilience in the game and took the lead.
