Fulham preview: Undone at the Emirates
Fulham went in at the break a goal down away at Arsenal in midweek and then conceded a second goal in the 73rd minute. Substitute Rodrigo Muniz did manage to pull a goal back for the visitors in stoppage time but the damage had already been done by that point and Fulham lost the game 2-1.
Alex Iwobi, who didn't start against the Gunners, has carried the ball into the final third 86 times in the Premier League this season, the most of any player across Europe’s top five leagues, so don't be surprised to see his name back in the starting lineup for the Liverpool game.
Reiss Nelson, Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete won't feature on Sunday due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Andersen, Castagne, Diop, Robinson, Cuenca, Lukic, Berge, Smith Rowe, Jimenez & Traore

Liverpool preview: One goal was enough
Liverpool only needed one goal to claim all three points and the bragging rights against local rivals Everton on Wednesday night.
The Toffees looked to have taken the lead in the first half only for the goal to be chalked off by VAR due to an offside in the build-up. Liverpool did edge the stats for chances created and in the 57th minute, Diogo Jota scored and the hosts held firm to secure a big three points in the title race.
Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold look set to miss out again this weekend through injury but Arne Slot is hopeful that Alisson Becker and Conor Bradley could return in time to make the trip to Fulham.
Predicted lineup: Kelleher (GK), van Dijk, Robertson, Konate, Jones, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Jota & Diaz

Player to watch: Diogo Jota
Diogo Jota is considered by many to be the best finisher in the Liverpool squad but injuries have stopped the Portuguese international from truly flurrishing for the Reds.
Jota scored the only goal in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night but it was only his sixth league goal of the campaign and he has only featured in 19 games.
Will the Portuguese forward build on his derby winner?
While he is fit and available to play, we're backing Jots to put in another impressive performance this weekend against Fulham and wouldn't bet against the 28-year-old scoring again.
