Liverpool will look to return to winning ways when they host Fulham on Saturday at 5.30pm.
The Reds were beaten 2-0 by reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday. That made it three straight defeats for Arne Slot’s side in all competitions.
Liverpool predicted XI vs Fulham
Liverpool (4-4-2): Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz; Gakpo, Ekitike.
Fifth-placed Liverpool seek a response against a Fulham side occupying ninth in the Premier League table. The Cottagers can move within three points of their hosts with victory.

Liverpool team news vs Fulham
Having opted for three centre-backs against PSG in midweek, Arne Slot is likely to return to a back four for the visit of Fulham.
Mohamed Salah was an unused substitute at Parc des Princes, and could remain on the bench here.
Liverpool are still without Alisson, so Giorgi Mamardashvili should continue in goal.
Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are long-term absentees with knee injuries, while Wataru Endo is also unavailable due to an ongoing ankle problem.
Goals galore?
Although Liverpool have drawn blanks in their last two matches, the statistics suggest that we can expect to see goals in this game.
Both the Reds and Fulham have scored at least twice in each of their last three Premier League meetings. This could be only the third fixture in the competition’s history to see each side net two or more times on four successive occasions.
The two sides have scored the joint-most goals in the final 20 minutes of Premier League games this season (18 each). Meanwhile, Liverpool have also conceded the most goals during that period (also 18).
Since returning to the top flight in 2022, Fulham have found the net 13 times in seven games against the Reds, only doing so more often in the competition against Tottenham (14) and Brighton (15).
