Fulham make the trip to face league leaders Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s side have proven to be stubborn opposition for the top sides of late, drawing with Tottenham and Arsenal in recent weeks. Fulham also claimed an impressive win over Brighton as the Cottagers chase a place in Europe next season.
Harry Wilson was celebrating this week after winning the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award for his improvised effort against Brentford.
The monthly awards were also a success for Liverpool. Arne Slot claimed the Manager of the Month for November, while Mohamed Salah was recognised as the Player of the Month.
Liverpool saw the Merseyside Derby postponed last week due to Storm Darragh, before beating Girona 1-0 to extend their European record to six wins from six games.
Fulham will be without Calvin Bassey and Tom Cairney through suspension at Anfield. Bassey’s absence is a big blow to a Fulham defence that has impressed this season.
The recently returned Jorge Cuena is in line to replace the Nigeria international and make his full Premier League debut. The Spanish centre-back is likely to partner Issa Diop at the heart of the defence as Joachim Andersen remains out with a calf problem.
Neither Harrison Reed or Reiss Nelson will feature until 2025 due to knee and hamstring injuries respectively.
Fulham predicted XI: Leno; Tete, Cuenca, Diop, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Adama; Jimenez
Liverpool host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday 14th December 2024. Kick-off at Anfield is 15:00 GMT.
