Liverpool face Fulham this weekend and will be without 4 key players as manager Arne Slot decides on his starting eleven.

Liverpool have suffered defeat in each of their last three matches across all competitions with their most recent loss coming in a 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.

Slot has picked up just two wins in his last eight matches in all competitions since the beginning of March as fans grow frustrated with how the side are failing to secure Champions League football for next season. 

Liverpool have historically dominated this fixture, winning 45 of their 80 encounters, compared to Fulham’s 14 victories and 21 draws but as The Reds grow inconsistent, the side could drop points once more. 

Ahead of the game, Slot will be without 4 players including Conor Bradley (Knee Injury), Giovanni Leoni (Knee Injury), Wataru Endo     (Ankle/Foot Injury), Alisson Becker (Other) as Giorgi Mamardashvili steps in for the Brazilian. 

The good news for the Premier League champions is that Alexander Isak made his first appearance in more than three months as a substitute in midweek after recovering from a broken leg. 

After making what was just a substitute appearance, Isak could start against Fulham as Slot seeks to finally rest Hugo Ekitike who has filled in for the Swedish international for a number of months. 

Both teams have scored at least twice in each of their last three Premier League meetings and this tie is expected to be full of action as Slot aims to boost his sides’ chances of European football next season.
