Liverpool’s winning run came to an end as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Leeds United at Anfield in midweek. They have a chance to respond quickly as they face Fulham at Craven Cottage on matchday 20 of the Premier League at 15:00 UK time.
The Reds are now in contention to finish in the Champions League spots and with at least one of Chelsea and Manchester City set to drop points later on Sunday, a win might help their cause massively.
Here’s how Liverpool might line-up against the Londoners.
Goalkeeper – Alisson Becker is expected to get the nod in goal for Liverpool.
Defenders – Conor Bradley is likely to keep his place at right back, but £40 million summer acquisition Milos Kerkez could replace Andy Robertson at left back. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are likely to continue in the heart of the backline too.
Mac Allister and Gakpo return
Midfielders – Alexis Mac Allister is expected to return to the fore at Curtis Jones’ expense and partner beside Ryan Gravenberch in the double pivot for Liverpool.
Florian Wirtz could be employed as the number 10 for Liverpool, as opposed to the left winger’s role he had in the previous clash.
Dominik Szoboszlai could replace Jeremie Frimpong on the right wing, whereas Cody Gakpo could come back into the team to play on the left side.
Forward – Hugo Ekitike did not have the best match in a Liverpool shirt against Leeds United last time but will look to make amends this time against Fulham.
Here is how the visitors might line-up for the clash.
