Liverpool will travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium without a key first team member next weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a huge boost ahead of facing Liverpool next weekend after the Premier League leaders enjoyed a nightmare of a start against Fulham this afternoon.
Arne Slot welcomed the Cottagers to Anfield with the chance of going seven points clear at the summit. However, it was the London outfit who took the lead after just 11 minutes through former Manchester United man Andreas Perreira.
Just six minutes later, the match went from bad to worse for Liverpool as the experienced Andrew Robertson was shown a red card for bringing down Harry Wilson as the winger broke through on goal. A lengthy VAR check took place, but the Scottish international was given his marching orders and will now face a ban.
A post on social media platform X from the Premier League Match Centre account read: "The referee issued a red card to Robertson for a foul on Wilson which denied a goal scoring opportunity. VAR checked to confirm the red card and that Wilson was in an onside position."

Liverpool travel to Southampton in Carbao Cup action on Wedensday night before making the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday to take on Ange Postecoglou's side. Roberton has faced Spurs 18 times in his career but is set to miss out with Slot having to field a second-choice defence.
Reacing to the red card, Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live said: "He is gone. Red card. It's denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
"What an absolute stinking afternoon for Andrew Robertson. Had that collision earlier, then deflected Pereira's shot in and then has been sent off."
Tottenham Hotspur are first in Premier League action against Southampton on Sunday evening before the clash against Liverpool just before Christmas. The two sides last met in May with the Reds winning 4-1 at Anfield, having been beaten 2-1 by Spurs the previous September in London.
