Liverpool will not be able to field Stefan Bycetich, who has a calf injury, Thiago, who has fitness problems, and Andrew Robertson, who has a shoulder injury. Coach Jürgen Klopp is expected to use a 4-3-3 formation, with a starting lineup likely to include Kyle Hull, Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Zimmikas, Dominic Sobosloe, Alexis McAllister, Curtis Jones, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.
Fulham coach Marco Silva faces a number of players with fitness problems, with Adama Traore (hamstring injury), Thérèse François (minor injury) and Rodrigo Munoz (knee injury) set to miss the game.
We think Fulham could use a 4-2-3-1 formation and field Bernd Leno, Timothy Castaigne, Calvin Brazil, Tim Ream, Anthony Robinson, Joao Palinha, Harrison Reed, Bobby Reid, Alex Iwobi, Willian and Raul Jimenez.
