Liverpool face Mohamed Salah dilemma as five changes could be made for Merseyside derby
Having seen their Premier League title hopes recently dented, Liverpool returned to winning ways away at Fulham on Sunday.
Goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, and Diogo Jota clinched a 3-1 victory as the Reds moved up to second in the table, level on points with leaders Arsenal.
