Liverpool v Fulham: Confirmed line-ups for Premier League clash
The Reds will be desperate to get back to winning ways.
Liverpool will look to ease the mounting pressure on manager Arne Slot as they host Fulham at Anfield.
The Reds return to Premier League action having suffered humbling defeats in their last two encounters to leave their hopes of silverware this season hanging by a thread.
Slot’s men were thrashed 4-0 in the FA Cup by Manchester City last Saturday before losing 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
And they have another difficult encounter against Fulham, with Marco Silva’s men just five points behind Liverpool as they chase European football.
