Fulham vs Liverpool - Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Jurgen Klopp's side look to bounce back from shock defeat against Crystal Palace with Mohamed Salah on the bench

Fulham have won just one of their last 11 league meetings with Liverpool - a 1-0 victory at Anfield in 2021.

Liverpool though haven't kept a clean sheet at Craven Cottage since 2009 and if they lose today then it will be their first consecutive top-flight defeats since Bournemouth and Man City in April 2023.

So Liverpool can go joint top with Arsenal if they can take three points today.

Easier said than done though as their recent draw with Manchester United and defeat to Crystal Palace suggests.

A defeat today, knowing how consistent Manchester City and Arsenal can be, would likely be curtains on their title challenge.

Well just have a look at that bench. Probably the team you might have expected if Liverpool decided to rest players for their Europa League clash with Atalanta on Thursday.

Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboslai and Ibrahima Konate all on the bench.

Diogo Jota starts up front for the Reds with Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott.

Some big calls there from Klopp, perhaps with the Merseyside Derby this week in mind.

Decent team on offer from the hosts. One notable abscence is that of Willian, and manager Marco Silva has confirmed that this is nothing too serious but he is out with a groin strain.

And welcome to Mail Sport's live coverage of Liverpool's trip to Fulham.
