Liverpool vs Fulham starting XIs confirmed as Klopp makes THREE changes

Liverpool have confirmed their starting XI and substitutes to take on Fulham in their Premier League clash on Wednesday.

The Reds are looking to continue their four-game winning run by beating the Cottagers, in a result that would strengthen their hopes of finishing in fifth place in the Premier League this season.

They can still qualify for next season's Champions League, but with Newcastle nine points ahead of them having played the same number of games, that achievements looks to be unlikely.

Marco Silva's Fulham, meanwhile, broke a five-game losing streak when they defeated Everton at Goodison Park last month, and followed that up with a 2-1 win over Leeds at Craven Cottage.

They have, however, lost their two most recent fixtures, to Aston Villa and Manchester City. And with an outside chance of qualifying for European football next season, Fulham will be desperate to bounce back against the Reds at Anfield.

Klopp has rotated his attacking unit in recent games, with Luis Diaz's return from injury meaning that Liverpool currently have a full cohort of forward players to choose from.

And the German boss has made another significant change for Wednesday's fixture.

Liverpool confirm starting XI

Liverpool's starting XI contains three changes from the 4-3 win over Tottenham, with captain Jordan Henderson back into the side.

Andrew Robertson and Cody Gakpo, however, drop to the bench, with Kostas Tsimikas and Darwin Nunez replacing them. Harvey Elliott is the other player to drop out of the side to take on Fulham.

Gakpo has started each of Liverpool's last five games, with the Dutchman set to make an impact from the bench if Klopp decides to introduce him to the action.

Fulham, meanwhile, have been forced into a number of changes, with Tim Ream and Andreas Pereira both picking up injuries in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

Issa Diop and Tom Cairney replace them in two of five changes to the side.

Cedric Soares and Willian are also named in the XI, replacing Kenny Tete and Bobby Reid, while January signing Sasa Lukic replaces Harrison Reed in the centre of midfield.
