Liverpool vs Fulham team news
Liverpool will be without Alexis Mac Allister again after the yellow card he was shown during the 3-3 draw with Newcastle took him up to five for the season, handing him an automatic one-match suspension.
He was supposed to serve the ban against Everton at Goodison Park, but the postponement of that game saw it carry over to this weekend instead. Mac Allister also served a one-game Champions League suspension against Girona.
The Reds had Alisson back for their win in Spain in midweek and the Brazilian is set to start again on Saturday. Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa could both return to the squad after injury.
Defenders Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas are all still sidelined, however.
Fulham will be without Reiss Nelson following a hamstring injury that is expected to keep the Arsenal loanee out for approximately 10 weeks, while Joachim Andersen is not yet ready to return from his calf issue, along with Harrison Reed (knee).
Captain Tom Cairney and Calvin Bassey are both suspended for the trip to Anfield, with Marco Silva facing a defensive dilemma.
Liverpool vs Fulham prediction
Liverpool will have it tough against a Fulham side unbeaten in their last three away games but will still be expected to win.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
