Team news

Darwin Nunez is expected to start for Liverpool after coming off the bench to score in the 3-1 win over Man City last weekend.

Diogo Jota and Ibrahim Konate will be out of action, however, as they are still nursing injuries.

Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz will likely play up top with Uruguayan Nunez.

Fulham, however, have a small squad, and manager Silva says his side aren’t ready for the new season.

“No one can prepare for one season with just two central defenders. We have two central defenders at this level,” he said.

“I have to congratulate our players because they have worked really hard but anyone that understands football can see that we need at least five or six more players, that is clear.”

Odds

  • Fulham – 9/1
  • Draw – 9/2
  • Liverpool – 1/4
