🗞️ Team News: Fulham

The Fulham manager Marco Silva will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this game owing to a fully healthy group to choose from.

It seems likely that The Cottagers will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time featuring Bernd Leno, Timothy Castagne, Tosin Adarabioyo, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Sasa Lukic, Joao Palhinha, Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Willian and Rodrigo Muniz.

📋 Team News: Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has multiple availability issues to deal with. Thiago (Muscle injury), Ben Doak (Meniscus tear), Conor Bradley (Ankle injury) and Joel Matip (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that The Reds seem most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, starting the game with Alisson Becker, T. Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Harvey Elliott, Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz.

🔮 Prediction

For this match, we think that Fulham should be able to breach the defence of this Liverpool outfit, but one goal may not be enough to avoid a loss.

We therefore reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for Liverpool at full-time. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
