Liverpool aim to protect their top-five status as they host Fulham at Anfield today.
The Reds desperately want to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions. This dismal run threatens to derail their previously promising campaign.
Notably, only one club holds a longer winless run against Fulham in league history. Consequently, the historic pressure mounts heavily on the home side. Manager Arne Slot faces a major tactical dilemma today.
He must carefully balance his squad between two crucial Champions League quarter-final legs against Paris Saint-Germain.
Furthermore, Liverpool endure a deeply troubling domestic slump. They have lost 10 league matches since September. Conversely, they have secured only nine victories during that identical timeframe. Therefore, they desperately need a positive result to restore confidence.
Liverpool team news
Arne Slot manages a squad hit by significant defensive absences this weekend. Alisson Becker remains out with an ongoing injury issue. Therefore, Giorgi Mamardashvili will confidently continue his important stint in goal.
Consequently, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are also ruled out through frustrating injuries. They unfortunately join the growing list of unavailable defensive options.
However, Alexander Isak is finally back in first-team contention. This welcome return follows a gruelling three-month lay-off from a fractured leg. Recently, he successfully played 15 minutes against PSG. Consequently, the striker should feature prominently again today.
Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch must play with extreme caution. Both key players sit just one booking away from a costly domestic suspension. In attack, Florian Wirtz remains the primary creative threat for the hosts. He consistently orchestrates their most dangerous forward movements.
Notably, the German has recorded the second-most open-play chances created in the entire division. Finally, Liverpool rely heavily on their usually strong home form. They have won eight of their last 13 matches at Anfield. They desperately hope this familiar fortress provides a vital victory today.
