We don't have eight right full-backs available but I will find an answer."After Manchester City and PSG, Liverpool will then play Fulham in a massive Anfield game that could be vital for finishing inside the top five places and qualifying for the Champions League."Excited," Slot told club media earlier in the week when he was asked about a huge period. "This is what we worked for throughout the season, to be involved in games like this."Of course, we probably played the toughest opponents you can face as well in the FA Cup as in the Champions League, but you always know if you end up in the quarter-finals that these are teams you can face."It's exciting for us.
As we know, we played Paris Saint-Germain last season in the Round of 16, now in the quarter-finals and both of these games were a joy to watch."I watched them back — both of them — I liked the one at Anfield a little bit more than the one in Paris, although we won in Paris and lost at Anfield."But [we’re] really looking forward to it. We've shown so many times this season that we can be a very good team."Unfortunately, we've also shown this season a few times that we look vulnerable, and we have to get the best out of ourselves as we've had many times this season."But that's what we need definitely again in the upcoming weeks to do what we want to do and that is to continue our run in both cups and qualify for the Champions League next season."There will be more to follow on this breaking news story and Liverpool.com will bring you the very latest updates, pictures and video as soon as possible.Please check back regularly for updates on this developing story as they happen.Follow @Liverpoolcom_ : The official Liverpool.com account for all the latest sports news as it happens in real time.Follow us on Facebook or visit Liverpool.com homepage.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.AlissonArne SlotLiverpool injury newsLiverpool FC
