Liverpool injury, suspension list and return dates for Fulham: Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they host Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds were held to a 3-3 draw by Newcastle United in England's top flight last time out, and they currently sit top of the Premier League table, four points ahead of second-placed Chelsea with a game in hand, as last weekend's Merseyside derby was postponed due to the bad weather.

Arne Slot's side were victorious in the Champions League on Tuesday night, though, beating Girona 1-0 to make it six wins from their six European matches this season, with the Merseyside giants top of the Champions League table on 18 points.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Fulham, who currently sit 10th in England's top flight, boasting 23 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign.
