Liverpool
Liverpool are now starting to welcome back many of their important first-team players, with Alisson returning after 11 games out in midweek, making five saves on the way to a clean sheet at Girona.
Diogo Jota is also back in training and in contention to feature, while Federico Chiesa is not far away from a return either.
Alexis Mac Allister was set to be suspended for the derby against Everton, but will now serve his ban here instead, after also missing the Champions League win due to yellow card accumulation.
Dominik Szoboszlai is set to deputise for him again, but Slot has a decision to make in attack between Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, if Jota can not make a full instant return.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Fulham
Fulham are without Calvin Bassey due to suspension and Joachim Andersen's calf injury has seen him miss the last three games, so Jorge Cuenca could make his full PL debut here, having made just three injury-time sub appearances so far.
Harrison Reed will not play until 2025 after knee surgery, while wide man Reiss Nelson was unable to feature against his former club Arsenal last weekend due to a hamstring issue, with Adama Traore coming in.
Tom Cairney will serve the final game of his three-match ban for the straight red card picked up at Spurs, after missing the home fixtures against Brighton and Arsenal.
Fulham possible starting lineup:
Leno; Tete, Cuenca, Diop, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Adama; Jimenez
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Fulham
