This weekend, not all matches of the 34th round will take place in the Premier League, as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United are participating in the FA Cup, resulting in their games being postponed. However, the other two leaders of the current season will engage in their respective matches. Today, Arsenal will travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, while tomorrow, Fulham will host Liverpool.

Fulham continues to exhibit rather unstable results. After defeating Tottenham Hotspur, they drew with Sheffield United, followed by another draw against Nottingham Forest. Currently, the Cottagers occupy twelfth place in the league. They are already assured of not being relegated from the Championship, and they won't reach the European qualification zone. Therefore, no match holds any significant importance for them anymore. However, a victory against Liverpool could propel them into the top half of the table.

After Liverpool's defeat in the previous round to Crystal Palace, many began to discuss their chances of winning the championship in the current season. Jürgen Klopp's team trails Manchester City by two points with six matches remaining in the current campaign. For Klopp, the Premier League represents the last opportunity to clinch any trophy this season, as they were eliminated from the Europa League earlier this week and previously lost to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Fulham approaches this match without any injuries. Commenting on the upcoming game, Fulham's head coach Marco Silva sympathized with Liverpool for their recent misfortunes:

"In ten days, they lost the chance to reach the Europa League semifinals and, possibly, compete for the championship. They also dropped three points, which were really important to them, at Anfield, which doesn't happen often."

Liverpool's main goalkeeper, Alisson, has finally returned to the squad after missing two months due to injury. The Brazilian goalkeeper has already played two matches in the past week. Additionally, the team's primary right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, has also played two matches after several months of knee injury recovery. The young defender commented on his substitution in the 72nd minute after the match against Atalanta:

"I think I just ran out of gas in the second half. In the first half, I enjoyed the game, found passes, and played the game I liked."

Despite the lack of importance of the upcoming match for Fulham, Marco Silva will field in the starting lineup. Likewise, Jürgen Klopp will likely do the same in an attempt to stay in the title race.

Predicted Fulham line-ups

Leno – Robinson, Bassey, Adarabiyo, Castagne – Lukic, Palhinha – Willian, Pereira, Lookman – Muniz

Predicted Liverpool line-ups
