Liverpool will be looking to secure back-to-back wins as they face Fulham in their first of six remaining Premier League matches. After being knocked out of the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp’s focus is solely on the Premier League title race.
The disappointment of their 3-1 aggregate defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League can be overcome with a strong finish to the season. Klopp has set his sights on winning all six of their remaining games. Despite their European exit, Liverpool can take confidence from their 1-0 victory over Atalanta in the second leg. However, the physical exertion of that match will need to be considered when selecting the team for the Fulham game.
In terms of team news, Klopp’s pre-Fulham press conference was recorded before the Atalanta match, so there is little information available. However, it is expected that there will be several changes to the starting lineup due to the demanding schedule and only a two-day break between fixtures. Players such as Alexander-Arnold, Mac Allister, and Ibrahima Konate may be rested for fitness reasons. There could also be rotation in midfield and attack.
One possible lineup for Liverpool could include Alisson in goal, with Gomez, Quansah, Van Dijk, and Robertson forming the defense. Endo, Elliott, and Szoboszlai may feature in midfield, while Salah, Jota, and Nunez could lead the attack.
However, Klopp might choose to gamble with fewer changes in order to secure the necessary six wins from their final six games. In this scenario, Alexander-Arnold could retain his place after being substituted in the midweek match. Jones and Szoboszlai may start in midfield ahead of Endo, and Jota could play as the lone striker with Luis Diaz on the left wing.
It is difficult to accurately predict the exact lineup against Fulham due to the lack of updates on the fitness of certain players after the Atalanta match. However, it is likely that Klopp will continue to manage his squad and rely on a much-changed side to maintain their winning momentum.
