Liverpool will look to keep alive their outside hopes of Champions League qualification today as they take on Fulham at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds are a seemingly insurmountable seven points behind fourth placed Man United with five games left to play, but come into this match in a rich vein of form having won their last four games.

They come up against a Fulham side which has tailed off badly, having looked in good shape for European qualification just a few weeks ago before a collapse in results, with little now to play for.

Liverpool are set to be without Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita, while the visitors will be missing Andreas Pereira and Tim Ream, who are both out for the rest of the season because of an ankle injury and broken arm respectively.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

Liverpool vs. Fulham: When and where?

Liverpool host Fulham at the Anfield on Wednesday, April 3. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. local time in the UK (3 p.m. ET, 1 p.m. PT in the US, and at 5 a.m. AEST on Thursday morning in Australia).

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

This big EPL fixture is streaming on Peacock. You'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch the game live.

Can I livestream the Liverpool vs. Fulham game in the UK?

This match can't unfortunately be selected for live coverage by any of the Premier League broadcast rights holders in the UK. This is because it was originally scheduled for Saturday and thus was not in the packages of games the broadcasters pay so handsomely for.

That also means that if you're in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you're unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home thanks to geo-blocking.

There is one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN 
With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
