Liverpool will be looking to keep pace in the Premier League title race when they take on Fulham at Anfield on Sunday.

The Reds are fighting for silverware on both the domestic and European front this season, having lost just one of their opening 13 league matches while also securing top spot in Europa League Group E with a game to spare.

Sunday's visitors Fulham have been a mixed bag this term, with a win-draw-loss record of four, three and six, but they head into this weekend's fixtures with a 10-point cushion to the relegation zone

Team news

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is out for another couple of weeks after tweaking his thigh in the draw with Manchester City, meaning Caoimhin Kelleher is in line to make his sixth Premier League start for the Reds.

Diogo Jota was also forced off at the Etihad Stadium and his injury is more severe, with Jurgen Klopp unable to say with any certainty just how long the attacker will be out for. 

Andrew Robertson, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic all remain sidelined.

Fulham welcome back midfielder Joao Palhinha, who missed the Wolves win due to suspension, but the Cottagers are still without the services of Issa Diop, Adama Traore and Rodrigo Muniz.

The stats

Liverpool have the joint-best home record in the league this season with 18 points, the same haul that Aston Villa and Newcastle have achieved.

The Reds have won all 10 games at Anfield across all competitions this term, scoring 31 goals and keeping six clean sheets during this impressive run.

Egypt international Mohamed Salah has scored in all six top-flight matches at home in this campaign, netting eight times in total.

Since August's 1-0 win at Everton, Fulham have since failed to win on the road in the league in six attempts, taking just three points from a possible 18 on offer.

The Cottagers have lost on four of their last five trips to Anfield, conceding 11 times and scoring just once.

Prediction

Liverpool have not put a foot wrong at home this season and that looks unlikely to change against a Fulham side that have picked up just one top-flight win on the road.

The Reds have scored more than two goals in eight of their 10 Anfield assignments and that attacking prowess should strike fear into the Cottagers, who last kept a clean sheet at Crystal Palace in September.

A win for Jurgen Klopp's men on home soil usually involves a Salah goal and the Egyptian can add to his tally of eight league goals on Merseyside this season.

The 31-year-old has netted at least once in all six league fixtures at Anfield and he has an impressive record against Fulham, having scored in four of the six meetings.
