Liverpool were 1-0 victors against Everton last night, with eyes already set on Sunday’s trip to Fulham.
The Reds will look to maintain their 12-point lead on Arsenal, who this week have already beaten the Cottagers after a 2-1 win at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners welcomed back star attacker Bukayo Saka.
With PMGOL admitting they made a mistake in Liverpool’s win against Everton, the Reds will hope that the Premier League officials will be on the ball a bit more in Sunday’s trip to west London, where Fulham will look to give Arne Slot’s side a game.
And speaking ahead of this weekend’s tie, the Liverpool manager has now confirmed that two players will not be available for selection, as well as giving an update on Conor Bradley’s fitness.

Talking at the pre-mach press conference, Slot confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez won’t be fit enough to make the trip down to the English capital on Sunday, with the defenders still out injured.
Curtis Jones impressed as right-back for Liverpool against Everton with Bradley close to making a return to fitness, with Slot teasing that the Northern Ireland international could be in with a chance of featuring against Fulham.

Slot said when asked who could play at right-back against Fulham: “It depends on if players are coming back.
Of course, Trent and Joe won’t be back in the upcoming weeks, Conor, we’ll have to wait and see if he’s ready to be with the squad for Sunday.
“Of course, Curtis is an option because he did well, but I think Jarell did well a few times in the position also, so let’s wait and see what decision we make on Sunday.”
Another player who was missing from last night’s win was Alisson Becker, with the Liverpool goalkeeper failing to pass all the fitness tests required after picking up a concussion on international duty last month with Brazil.
Whilst it is up in the air if Alisson will be fit to play for Liverpool on Sunday, Slot did provide an update on the former AS Roma star, with the South American superstar set to return to the squad as soon as possible.
Slot said: “With Ali it’s simple, it’s a concussion and you have to tick all the boxes.
