Marco Silva facing centre-back dilemma ahead of Anfield clash

Marco Silva has a decision to make at centre-back when Fulham face Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.

Joachim Andersen remains sidelined with an Achilles tendon problem, while Calvin Bassey is suspended after earning his fifth yellow card of the season against Arsenal last weekend.

That leaves Silva without two of his senior centre-backs as his side take on the Premier League leaders.

Issa Diop is likely to retain his place, and he could be partnered by summer signing Jorge Cuenca or by a midfielder or a full-back deputising in central defence.

If Cuenca does start, the former Villareal man will be making his first start in the Premier League after making two in the Carabao Cup.

Fulham will also be without Reiss Nelson, who has a hamstring injury which Silva expects to keep him out for around 10 weeks.

Midfielder Harrison Reed is also absent due to a knee injury sustained last month, while club captain Tom Cairney is again suspended following his red card at Tottenham.

Fulham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Tete, Diop, Cuenca, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Traore; Jimenez

Injured: Nelson, Andersen, Reed

Suspended: Cairney, Bassey
