Arne Slot’s Reds aim to extend their title lead at Anfield but could face difficult test
Liverpool will be hoping to extend their title lead as they return to Premier League action at Anfield this afternoon. The postponement of their Merseyside derby clash with Everton last weekend combined with results for the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal have seen their advantage at the top-flight summit whittled down to just four points.
Although the Reds now hold a potentially crucial game in hand over their closest rivals, Arne Slot will be eager to re-establish some more distance before Chelsea host Brentford on Sunday night and with Arsenal also in action at home to Everton this afternoon. Liverpool brushed aside Girona in midweek to seal their Champions League progress and quickly get back to winning ways after that thrilling six-goal draw at Newcastle, though could face another potentially tough test from confident Fulham today.
Marco Silva’s side have impressed so far this season and held Arsenal to a deserved draw last time out, though they’ve won just one of their last 14 matches against today’s opponents. Cody Gakpo replaces Darwin Nunez for the hosts as Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa return to the squad, while Jorge Cuenca makes his first league start for the Cottagers.
