RW- Mohamed Salah

Klopp rested Mane and Firmino and this seemed a fixture where he could’ve rested Salah. However, with Jota sustaining a knock against Midtjylland, it seems like the 28-year-old may have to start against Fulham.

Salah has so far scored 12 goals across all competitions and he’ll be looking to increase that number if Klopp picks him. However, it won’t be much of a surprise if he is benched and Takumi Minamino starts.

CF- Roberto Firmino

The Brazilian international came on as a substitute against Midtjylland and will be starting at Craven Cottage this weekend. Firmino will be looking to create scoring chances for his teammates while also trying to add to his tally of two goals.

The 29-year-old hasn’t found the net in the past two meetings against Fulham so this weekend would be a pretty good opportunity to open his scoring account versus them.

LW- Sadio Mane

Like several of Liverpool’s regulars, the Senegalese international came on as a sub in the Champions League but he will definitely be in the lineup against Fulham.

Mane has threatened the opposition defences this season but hasn’t been able to score as much with just five goals in 15 appearances so far. Hence, he will be keen on increasing his season’s tally.

Mane actually opened the scoring the last time Liverpool played Fulham and the latter’s backline will have a hard time coping with him on Sunday.
