• Fulham vs Tottenham live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV tonight

  Fulham host Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night with the strugglers looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six matches. Scott Parker’s side remain in the bottom three, but they have now closed the gap to just three points and, with their goal difference better than Newcastle’s, they know a win here will be enough to move above the dotted line. A huge boost for the Cottagers has been their much-improved defence of late, with just one goal conceded in the last five after a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace at the weekend . However, Spurs returned to winning ways themselves last time out with a 4-0 win over Burnley , with Gareth Bale shining in particular. READ MORE: Premier League fixtures and table - all matches by date and kick-off time Jose Mourinho ’s side are still hopeful of securing European football next term, but they are six points off the top four with the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton all above them too, so it’s far from a straight-forward task for them to climb the table in a season of such inconsistency. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match on Thursday night. When is the game? The match kicks off at 6pm on Thursday, 4 March at Craven Cottage. Where can I watch it? The game will be screened live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate. Subscribers can stream the match via the BT Sport app and desktop website. What is the team news? Fulham are missing midfielder Tom Cairney, but sub goalkeeper Marek Rodak is the only other absentee. Ola Aina is fine to start despite being subbed off last time out. Spurs only have concerns over Giovani Lo Celso, but even if he is fully fit he could miss out on the squad after an improved showing from several attackers of late. Predicted line-ups FUL - Areola; Tete, Andersen, Tosin, Robinson; Reed, Anguissa; Cavaleiro, Loftus-Cheek, Lookman; Maja TOT - Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Bale, Moura, Son; Kane Odds Fulham - 31/10 Draw - 27/10 Tottenham - 24/23 Prediction There’s a lot at stake for both teams and it might lead to both of them being somewhat more wary than usual. Spurs’ greater attacking options should see them create enough to take a positive result, but Fulham have been far more resilient of late and will see a point as another good step to safety.

• Jamie Carragher makes Premier League top four prediction with Everton to ‘just fall short’

  Jamie Carragher believes Everton will “just fall short” in the hunt to finish inside the top four in the Premier League this season. The Toffees beat Southampton on Monday thanks to Richarlison’s strike to close in on West Ham, who currently hold the final spot and are two points ahead of Carlo Ancelotti ’s side, having played a game more. Ancelotti has maintained a place inside the top four would be a “dream” and that his team are ready for a “big fight” in the remaining games this term, but Carragher believes Everton are still lacking in quality compared to their rivals. READ MORE: Premier League fixtures and table — all matches by date and kick-off time “Are Everton good enough [to finish in the top four]? I think they may just fall short,” Carragher said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football . “The squad of players is maybe just short of some of the other sides, you think of Liverpool and Chelsea. But if you look at the manager they have got, we have already spoken about his record and also how much of an impact he has had at Everton. “I think the last two wins have pushed his win percentage above 50 per cent. No Everton manager has been close to that since Howard Kendall’s first spell - Everton’s best ever manager - so that shows the job he has done since he has come in. “I think if Everton are to get to the top four a lot of it will be down to Ancelotti. I think other teams fighting for it maybe have better XIs or squads, but with that man in charge anything is possible. “The challenge should be top four, if you are Everton now and you don’t qualify for Europe I think that would be a real disappointment. What they have to be thinking is the Europa League is the minimum, but they should be seriously thinking about top four, why not?” EvertonLiverpoolSoccerChelseaWest HamThe Premier LeagueSouthamptonSky Sports 'The Europa LeagueToffeesMonday Night FootballFallTimeFightStrikeJamie CarragherRicharlisonCarlo AncelottiHoward Kendall

• Sheffield United vs Liverpool official line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture tonight

  Liverpool travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday evening. Jurgen Klopp’s side have seen their hopes of defending the title vanish in recent weeks amid a dire slump in form, with last weekend’s defeat by rivals Everton representing their first Merseyside derby loss since 1999. FOLLOW LIVE: Teams, build-up and all the action as the Reds face the Blades There were at least encouraging signs when Liverpool defeated RB Leipzig 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, however, they have now lost their last four top-flight games in succession and face a major fight just to secure a top-four finish. Sheffield United meanwhile are all but resigned to their fate of relegation, with the Blades 15 points adrift of safety with just 13 games remaining. Chris Wilder’s side have won just three matches all season, however, they have produced one almighty upset when they defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford. Here’s everything you need to know about the match: When is it? The fixture will kick-off at 7:15pm GMT at Bramall Lane. READ MORE: Premier League fixtures and table — all matches by date and kick-off time How can I watch it? The match is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event with coverage starting from 7pm GMT. Official line-ups: Sheffield United: Ramsdale, Baldock, Ampadu, Jagielka, Bryan, Stevens, Norwood, Lundstram, Fleck, McGoldrick, McBurnie Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Phillips, Kabak, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Jones, Thiago, Mane, Salah Firmino Odds: Sheffield United: 13/2 Draw: 4/1 Liverpool: 2/5 Klopp on learning from this season “We will try everything this season but there are so many things we can learn from it,” he said.“We can really learn a lot of things about what we did right even when the whole world thought it was wrong, and what we did wrong, even when people didn’t realise it. “And while we are doing that we go through this (tough period) but our football lives - our career - doesn’t end after this season. “I don’t go and put the finger on my players and blame them for the situation - I don’t do that. “We are all responsible for it, I am mainly responsible for it. What we go through now, we have to sort problems now, immediately, and in the long term we can get the benefit of what we are going through in the moment. “It’s not cool but there are much worse things out there than the situation we are in as a football club.” Prediction: Liverpool are in poor form with a remarkable number of defensive injuries, and so Sheffield United might feel the champions are there for the taking. Unfortunately, the Reds’ offence remains strong and they will be too much for the Blades. 2-0 Liverpool.
