Liverpool will bid to get their Premier League title challenge back on track when they host Fulham this weekend.
The Reds have won just once in their last three top-flight games, but remain top of the league just two problems behind Arsenal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s delayed goal allowed Jurgen Klopp’s men to salvage a point in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City last time out.
Liverpool returned to winning tactics by beating LASK Linz 4-0 on Thursday to book their place in the Europa League round of 16.
The win confirms the Merseysiders’ imperious form at Anfield, as the club have won all 10 games they have played at home this season.
The last four meetings between the two sides have surprisingly been evenly split with two draws and a win apiece.
However, the summer departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic has seen Marco Silva’s Cottagers struggle to score this season.
A Mohamed Salah penalty made the difference when the teams met at Anfield last season and the striker has continued to do so this season.
The Egyptian, who netted in midweek, is now just one goal away from his 200th for Liverpool as he makes his 300th start this weekend.
Salah has already scored twice as many goals in England, but two of his goals came during his time at Chelsea.
Klopp has praised youngster Jarell Quansah after the academy defender was inspired by the win over LASK.
He said: “Jarell played a wonderful game. But by the way, the last line tonight, starting on the right. . . Joey, up, up, up; Ibou, stop. The fact that we got rid of it because of a medical decision.
“No risks, things like that, we give him minutes but not too much and Jarell played a wonderful game, that’s true. To be honest, it couldn’t be more wonderful news for the club. I think before this season, a lot of other people were saying that. We bought a central medium.
“We knew we had Jarell. Did we know he would show up like that?No, exactly, but we were hopeful, so the future is bright.
“It’s great. Our lad, calm on the ball, smart in defiance, quick, ruthless at the right times and, apart from Caoimhin [Kelleher], who made one or two saves, probably had the most impressive defensive conditions. when he saved our butts in a matter of moments. So, that’s smart. [It’s] wonderful news for us. “
Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai were rested midweek and will return as the hosts deal with various injuries.
Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota struggled against City and will be out.
Liverpool are also long absent from Thiago Alcantara, Andrew Robertson and Stefan Bajcetic.
Fulham can accommodate Joao Palhinha through suspension, but Issa Diop, Adama Traore and Rodrigo Muniz (knee) are absent.
This Premier League match will take place on Sunday, December 3rd.
The start at Anfield is scheduled for 14:00.
Unfortunately, this match will be televised on UK screens, as it was selected via Sky Sports for live coverage.
