Reds out to capitalise on Champions League boost amid huge twist in top-four battle
Liverpool host Fulham in the Premier League this weekend, with both sides seeking to bolster hopes of European qualification.
The Reds have been handed a massive boost this week with the Premier League being awarded an extra place in next season’s Champions League by virtue of Arsenal’s quarter-final first leg win over Sporting CP.
Liverpool can still qualify for Europe’s premier competition as holders, but must overcome a two-goal deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in next week’s second leg to keep that dream alive.
As a result, a return to winning ways after three league games without one is imperative for Arne Slot’s side, especially with Chelsea facing Manchester City and Brentford facing Everton across the weekend.
Fulham, meanwhile, are very much in contention to qualify for Europe - whether that be the Europa League or the Conference League - and head to Merseyside in decent form having won three of their last five league matches.
Liverpool vs Fulham is scheduled for a 5.30pm BST kick-off on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
The match will take place at Anfield, in Liverpool.
TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports. Coverage starts at 5pm BST on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog.
Liverpool will be without Alisson Becker once again through injury, while Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo are long-term absentees.
With one eye on Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against PSG, Slot may opt to freshen things up where possible and that could mean a start for Andy Robertson at left-back.
Alexander Isak played the final 12 minutes in Paris, his first appearance in three-and-a-half months, but is unlikely to start as he’s not yet up to full match sharpness.
Mohamed Salah was an unused subsitute against PSG and will be pushing for a return as Slot reverts back to a 4-2-3-1 formation after the back-five experiment ultimately failed in the Champions League.
Fulham hope to welcome Kenny Tete back from injury, but Calvin Bassey is a doubt with a back problem that forced him to pull out of the Nigeria squad during the international break.
Club-record signing Kevin, however, is set to miss out after undergoing successful surgery on an injury to his fifth metatarsal last month.

Liverpool will need to regain a spark in the Premier League having gone three games without a win. Facing a Fulham side more than capable of getting a result makes this a tricky test for the hosts.
Though, confirmation that a top-five finish will earn Champions League qualification should ease the pressure on Slot who continues to face speculation regarding his future.
We expect Liverpool to have too much quality for Fulham and secure a much-needed win to boost confidence going into a season-defining week.
Liverpool to win, 2-0.
Arne Slot, as Liverpool head coach, is yet to record a win over Marco Silva and Fulham in three attempts, drawing two and losing one.
The reverse meeting at Craven Cottage at the beginning of 2026 ended 2-2 as Harrison Reed rescued a point for Fulham with a stunning long range goal in stoppage time.
Liverpool wins: 45
