Premier League LIVE SCORES: Liverpool host Fulham plus updates from Newcastle vs Leicester – latest

Liverpool team vs Fulham

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo; Diaz

Pope out for a month

Newcastle No 1 Nick Pope will be out of action for a month with knee ligament damage.

The English goalkeeper twisted his knee while saving a shot during the Toon’s match at Brentford last weekend.

Eddie Howe will likely call upon Martin Dubravka or Odeyssas Vlochodimos for this afternoon’s meeting with Leicester.

Jota and Chiesa could return for Reds

Arne Slot has revealed that Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa could be included in this afternoon’s squad to face Fulham.

Jota has been on the sidelines since October with a rib injury, while Chiesa has made just one appearance in the Premier League since joining from Juventus for £12.5million in the summer.

Slot said pre-match: "I think they are," said Slot when asked if the players are ready to be in the squad this weekend. 

"We have one training session to go. Federico missed quite a lot for a long time, he was ill last week. We have to wait and see how he's doing.

"But maybe Diogo is in the squad and maybe Federico as well but that depends a bit on numbers and how he recovers from his illness."
