Liverpool have secured a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after thrashing West Ham 5-1, but will face Fulham without Mohamed Salah and Wataru Endo. The Reds’ impressive performance at Anfield saw Dominik Szoboszlai score the first goal, followed by Curtis Jones’ brace and goals from Salah and Cody Gakpo. The two-legged tie against Fulham will take place during the Premier League’s winter break, with Salah and Endo absent due to their involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asian Cup respectively. Liverpool have also avoided a Europa League knockout playoff by finishing top of Group E.
