In the penultimate home game of 2024, Arne Slot has made a change to his eleven as Liverpool host Fulham – Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are both back in the matchday squad.

In midfield, Ryan Gravenberchagain, stands next to it Dominik Szoboszlai And Curtis Jones as Alexis Mac Allister serves another one-match ban.

Cody Gakpo returns to the forward line to join Luis Diaz And Mohamed Salahwho needs a goal to become the fourth highest goalscorer in the club’s history alongside Billy Liddell.

As for options off the bench, Slot can turn to the likes of Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Jota, while Chiesa has also announced his return to the squad to boost Slot’s attacking options.
