Liverpool is set to face Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, April 6, following their recent 1-0 victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby. The win marked a return to form for Arne Slot’s side after consecutive defeats to Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle. A victory over Fulham would extend Liverpool’s lead at the top of the Premier League to 14 points, with Arsenal currently 12 points behind after drawing with Everton on Saturday.
Meanwhile, speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future continues. Recent sightings of Salah with a film crew at the Albert Dock sparked rumors about a potential announcement regarding his contract situation. However, it has been clarified that the appearance was for a commercial partner of Liverpool. Talks are ongoing regarding Salah’s contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season, along with those of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool’s lineup against Fulham may see the return of Alisson in goal if he passes his concussion test. The team has been performing well away from home, remaining unbeaten in the league this season. Fulham, however, has been inconsistent at home and will be without key players like Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete.
The match is crucial for Liverpool as they aim to maintain their momentum towards securing the Premier League title. With eight games remaining, every point counts, and a win against Fulham would further solidify their position at the top of the table.
