Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expects a tough trip to Fulham on Sunday.
Klopp says home supporters inside Craven Cottage will make it a "proper atmosphere".
"I saw Fulham's last three games and they are growing, which is a normal process," said Klopp.
"When you see the number of points in that area of the table, they all have a chance.
"The results have not been perfect but they will be confident. We felt a week ago, the benefit of having our crowd there.
"Fulham is a small stadium and with 2,000 people in, it will be a proper atmosphere and we have to be ready for that."
Speaking about the festive schedule, Klopp added: "Nothing has changed for us, the only fair thing is that all the teams have to play every three days.
"There is nothing to enjoy in the moment with the injuries we have. It was a proper fight and it will stay a proper fight."
