Reds looking to extend lead at the top of the Premier League
Premier League leaders Liverpool host Fulham on Saturday.
Arne Slot’s side saw last weekend’s Merseyside derby postponed due to Storm Darragh hitting the UK but were back in action on Tuesday with the 1-0 Champions League win over Girona.
The Reds boss was not particularly pleased with his team’s display in Spain but they remain strong favourites for Saturday’s clash.
Fulham, however, arrive with confidence.
The Cottagers were impressive in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal last time out and have proven a real threat this season.

Liverpool will be without Alexis Mac Allister after the yellow card he was shown during the 3-3 draw with Newcastle took him up to five for the season, handing him a one-match suspension.
They had Alisson back for their win in midweek and the Brazilian could start again but Diogo Jota and Federico Cheisa are doubts. Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas are all injured.
