Premier League champions-elect Liverpool can clear another title hurdle when they head south to tackle Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot‘s men passed the latest stern test of their first-placed credentials on Wednesday night, ending Everton’s long unbeaten run under David Moyes with a 1-0 triumph in the Merseyside derby.
The Reds therefore remain 12 points clear of Arsenal at the Premier League summit with just eight games remaining, although it could have been more had their upcoming hosts managed to do them a favour in midweek.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Cottagers, who were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal in gameweek 30.
