Fulham vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League team news, line-ups and latest updates – UK Times

Conor Bradley is fit enough only for the bench for Liverpool, leaving Curtis Jones to deputise for Trent Alexander-Arnold again. Caoimhin Keller starts again in goal and Cody Gakpo is promoted into the forward line.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Jones, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Jota, Gakpo.

It is a refreshed forward line for Fulham with all of Andreas Pereira, Alex Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz brought in. Calvin Bassey and Ryan Sessegnon also start in what may be a tweaked system.

Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Pereira, Sessegnon; Muniz.

A quick reminder of the team news, with the line-ups expected in the next 10 minutes…

The hosts will be missing Kenny Tete and Harry Wilson until later in the month, while Reiss Nelson will likely miss the rest of the season.

Arne Slot said that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez will miss out, while they’ll have to check the fitness of Conor Bradley and Alisson, who missed the Everton game with a concussion.

Arne Slot says Liverpool have missed Diogo Jota being at his best following the forward’s return to the scoresheet with his Merseyside derby winner.

Jota netted his ninth goal of an injury-disrupted season, and first since January, as he jinked past two men and fired home to secure Wednesday’s 1-0 victory over Everton at Anfield.

And Reds boss Slot said of the Portugal international: “Most players, if they come in a situation where they think they can score, they get a bit mixed up in their head.

“But he can stay really calm in those moments, recognise where he has to shoot, where the defenders are, what the goalkeeper probably expects, which corner he’s going to go to, and then he chooses the opposite one.”

Fulham’s only victory in their last 15 matches in all competitions against Liverpool (D4, L10) was 1-0 league win at Anfield in March 2021.

Liverpool are unbeaten in seven consecutive matches in all competitions at Craven Cottage (D4, L3) since a 1-0 loss in December 2011 under Kenny Dalglish.

Former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher has claimed that the club may need to make six signings this summer if they want to build on the success of Arne Slot’s opening season.

The Reds’ took another step towards the Premier League title in midweek with a 1-0 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby, and they currently hold a 12-point lead over nearest challengers Arsenal with just eight games left to play.

But his fellow full-back and friend Robertson insisted Alexander-Arnold is hurting because he is sidelined, with an ankle injury that forced him to miss the Carabao Cup final and some of the remainder of what could prove his last season on Merseyside.

When is Fulham vs Liverpool?

The match is due to kick off at 2pm on Sunday, 6 April at Craven Cottage in London.

The match will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. Coverage starts at 1pm.

Fulham were fairly pedestrian and ineffective in attack against Arsenal, and if that’s the case today, the Reds will take another easy step towards the Premier League title.

Fulham XI: Leno; Diop, Andersen, Cuenca; Castagne, Lukic, Berge, Robinson; Traore, Smith Rowe; Jimenez.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Jones, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
