Liverpool vs Fulham lineups, starting 11s, team news for Premier League match: Luis Diaz set for Anfield start image

Liverpool play host to Fulham this weekend at the start of a busy December for Jurgen Klopp's side across multiple competitions before 2023 is out.

The Reds wrap up their Europa League group stage campaign against Union Saint-Gilloise, and face West Ham in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, in between six Premier League matches.

A home tie against Fulham kicks off that streak of games with Klopp's team boasting a fine Anfield record in the Premier League so far this season. Liverpool have won all six home league matches in 2023/24, scoring 17 goals and conceding just two, as the best home defensive record in the top-flight so far.
