Fulham vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and latest updates

Fulham were fairly pedestrian and ineffective in attack against Arsenal, and if that’s the case today, the Reds will take another easy step towards the Premier League title.

Fulham XI: Leno; Diop, Andersen, Cuenca; Castagne, Lukic, Berge, Robinson; Traore, Smith Rowe; Jimenez.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Jones, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.

Speaking ahead of the match, Arne Slot said that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez will miss out, while they’ll have to check the fitness of Conor Bradley and Alisson, who missed the Everton game with a concussion.

Curtis Jones could continue at right-back, while Jarell Quansah is another option. Diogo Jota should have done enough to keep his place at striker after a great goal in the derby in midweek.

The hosts will be missing Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson until later in the month, while Reiss Nelson will likely miss the rest of the season.

Marco Silva could deploy the same back five that he used against Arsenal in a bid to contain the Reds, with Issa Diop, Joachim Andersen and Jorge Cuenca as centre-backs. Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic will continue at central midfield, with Raul Jimenez likely leading the line.
