Liverpool will look to close in on the Premier League title with victory at Fulham this afternoon. The Reds travel to Craven Cottage knowing just 11 points are needed to close out the title race and claim their 20th championship.
Marco Silva's side have lost their last two matches after returning from the international break and will be looking to get back to winning ways at home.
They drew 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield last year after Andy Robertson was sent off in the first half and proved to be a difficult opponent for Arne Slot's men.

So what side should the Dutchman pick in order to win the game? Our writers have their say:

Eleven points. That's all that separates Liverpool from a 20th championship. And while there are eight games in which to achieve the total, it would be better for everyone to get that sorted as soon as possible. Well, everyone except Arsenal, that is.
What, then, is Reds boss Arne Slot to do?
There's no need to risk Alisson Becker, so Caoimhin Kelleher can stay between the sticks. Curtis Jones did well at right-back against Everton but will be needed elsewhere, so Jarell Quansah is in at right-back. Ibrahima Konate partners skipper Virgil van Dijk at centre-back while Andy Robertson continues on the left.
In midfield, a change with Curtis Jones replacing Dominik Szoboszlai as the number 10. Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister stay as the double pivot.
And up top, Mohamed Salah is on the right and Diogo Jota down the middle, but it's time for Cody Gakpo to come in on the left.
My team (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Jota.

After Arsenal dropped points away at Everton, Liverpool have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table to 14 points and move within eight points of clinching the Premier League title. Things are starting to get real.
Fulham are no pushover though and the Reds can take nothing for granted at Craven Cottage.
Caoimhin Kelleher did little wrong in goal in the midweek victory over Everton, but hopefully Alisson Becker has completed concussion protocol by now with it being a fortnight since he suffered a head injury while away with Brazil.
I'm hoping Conor Bradley is ready to return too, having been back in training for a week, with the rest of the defence unchanged.
Alexis Mac Allister appears to be available having avoided injury following James Tarkowski's horror challenge, so he can continue in a deeper midfield role alongside Ryan Gravenberch. But I'm going to rest Dominik Szoboszlai for this one, with Curtis Jones giving a go in a more advanced role following his midweek showing at right-back.
And in attack, Diogo Jota keeps his place after ending his scoring drought by Cody Gakpo can come in for a first start since mid-February after shaking off injury, taking the place of Luis Diaz on the left.
My team (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Jota.
