Liverpool were beating in the Champios league by Red Star Belgrade in mid-week. The Reds were also unable to get past Arsenal in the league this weekend but hopes will be high when Fulham visit Anfield.
Team News
Klopp was boosted by the return of Naby Keita who was on the bench against Red Star. But Dejan Lovren, Jordan Henderson and Nathaniel Clyne are still out injured. Apart from that Klopp has no concerns at the moment.
Liverpool predicted XI
Manager: Jurgen Klopp
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Alisson Becker (GK)
The Brazilian will be itching to make amends against Fulham after conceding two against Red Star.
Trent Alexander Arnold (RB)
The right-back has failed to make an impact in the last few games. He will start this one at right-back though he was substituted at half time.
Joe Gomez (CB)
Gomez will return to centre-back after coming on at half time in mid-week. The youngster has been brilliant under Klopp this season.
Virgil Van Dijk (CB)
The Dutchman will probably play every game for the Reds this season, such is his ability.
Andrew Robertson (LB)
The left-back has been good defensively but his offensive input as reduced over the last few weeks.
Georginio Wijnaldum (RCM)
Wijnaldum should start at central midfield despite failing to provide going much forward. He has been anonymous at times this season.
Naby Keita (LCM)
Keita should start for this game after missing few through injury. His energy and pace have been missed.
Mohamed Salah (RAM)
Salah will start on the right side of attacking midfielder and aim to get on the scoresheet as he always does at Anfield.
Xherdan Shaqiri (CAM)
Shaqiri must sit behind the striker and dictate the play. He has been a massive influence whenever given the chance. Sadio Mane (LAM) Mane needs to bring more end product to his game. The Senegal international tends to disappear at times.
Liverpool will complete the signing of Lyon’s Nabil Fekir by today according to a report from the Liverpool Echo. The Reds have been chasing the French forward since the end of last season and though the report states that today could be the day for Fekir to be a Red, the next two days are critical for negotiations. The fee for the 24-year-old star is stated to be around £48.4m with add-ons expected to be £4.4m. Michael Edwards, our sporting director, is in Paris to complete the talks before Fekir travels with the France squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. We have also kept a medical team on standby just in case we can finalise the signing in France. Fekir would be our 3rd signing of the summer, considering that Keita and Fabinho have already been signed. Confirmation of signing from other outlets too Twitter also saw a couple of renowned Liverpool experts agree to the fact that the deal will be done soon or is done already. James Pearce replied to a tweet where he was m...
The current antics of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the illusory Biafra Republic, brings to mind an often quoted remark by Karl Marx, who pointed out in reference to the 9th November 1799 coup d’etat by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in France: A woman holds a Biafran flag during a service at the St. Martin Catholic of Tours Church on May 28, 2017 in the Aba-South district in Aba. The Nigerian civil war’s 50th anniversary will be commemorated on May 30. The war was triggered when the Igbo people, the main ethnic group in the southeast, declared an independent breakaway state, the Republic of Biafra. / AFP PHOTO “History often repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce…” As if to illustrate this thought-provoking adage afresh, post-colonial Nigerian history, which first produced the immense tragedy of Biafra with its horrible litany of death and widespread destruction, is now going on to provide the world with a new version of Biafra that is being...

The Blues lost their 100% record in the Premier League at the weekend when they were held to a goalless draw at West Ham, and they will no doubt look to bounce back with a win in the cup against high-flying Liverpool. Sarri has never been a huge fan of massive rotation for cup competitions during his career, and that is not expected to change for this one with the Italian set to field a strong team at Anfield.
