A back-five for Fulham?

With Timothy Castagne and Antonee Robinson coming in today, there’s a possibility Fulham play parts of this game in a back-five.

Who will play up front for Liverpool?

There is a possibility Florian Wirtz plays as a false 9 for Liverpool at Craven Cottage, with Cody Gakpo on the left and Dominik Szoboszlai on the right. That’s my guess.

For what it’s worth, Fulham boss Marco Silva thinks that too.

Arne Slot issues Hugo Ekitike injury update as Liverpool striker misses Fulham trip

Hugo Ekitike missed Liverpool’s trip to Fulham due to a minor hamstring injury but could return in time for the clash with Premier League leaders Arsenal on Thursday.

“[Alexander] Isak has been out for a few weeks now and that’s meant Ekitike had to play more minutes than the previous part of the season,” Arne Slot told Sky Sports before the Fulham clash.

“That’s led to him picking up a slight hamstring injury, and for a player of his age, not completely used to the Premier League, that’s been a bit too much. That’s why he will be out for today – and hopefully back for the Arsenal game [on Thursday].”
