Premier LeagueFulham v Liverpool: Team news

The Scouser lined up in defence for Wednesday night's Merseyside derby victory at Anfield, owing to the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez.

Bradley and Alisson Becker did train in the build-up to the encounter with Everton but were not part of the matchday squad.

The pair will be assessed ahead of the Reds' visit to Craven Cottage.

Arne Slot told reporters on Thursday morning: "Conor, we have to wait and see if he is ready to be with the squad for Sunday.

"Then of course Curtis is an option [at right-back] because he did well, but I think Jarell [Quansah] did well a few times in that position also. Let's wait and see which decision we make on Sunday."

Alisson continues to follow concussion protocols following the collision he was involved in while representing Brazil last month.

"And with Ali, it is simple: it is a concussion and you have to tick all the boxes," Slot continued. "The moment he does, he will be in goal. The moment he doesn't, we are following the protocol."

The head coach was hopeful there were no fresh injury concerns within his squad after the derby.

He said: "I hope and expect everybody is ready to play on Sunday again from the ones that were on the pitch [against Everton]."

Fulham, meanwhile, could welcome back defender Kenny Tete to their squad for the first time since December following a knee injury.

Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson, however, remain sidelined for the hosts due to knocks of their own.

Marco Silva told his pre-match press conference: "Kenny Tete is training 100 per cent with the team and it's a matter of time for him to be in the squad list.

"He is going to be in contention to be involved. It could be Liverpool, it could be other games, it will be my decision. Soon, we are going to see him involved in the squad list.

"It's nice to see Harry Wilson around the squad, on the grass, doing some individual work. He will be with us soon and that's great news in terms of the wide attacking areas of the pitch, where you miss a player of his characteristics, who can help the team."

On facing Liverpool, he added: "They are consistent, they haven't lost an away Premier League game so far this season, which shows what I am talking about.

"They haven't dropped many points at home so far this season, but we were one of the teams who took points from them at Anfield. It's going to be a game that demands us to be close to perfection.

"From our side, we need to fight really hard for the three points. We are in our own battle too. They want the three points to be closer to the title, we want our three points for our own battle.

"We respect them, but let's try to create the same environment that our supporters created last Saturday at home. That type of environment will be more difficult for Liverpool and help us too."
