The 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace last weekend could potentially prove more than a bump in the road come the end of the season, but all Jurgen Klopp's side can do now is win all of their remaining games, and hope both Arsenal and Man City slip up soon. But, with City not in action this weekend, three points against Fulham would see the Reds leapfrog the defending champions.
