Humiliated by Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals and then dominated by Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, Slot is in “survival mode” as the pressure mounts on the under-fire head coach.

Securing a top-five finish and qualifying for next season’s Champions League, with their hopes of overturning PSG’s advantage at Anfield on Tuesday appearing extremely slim, is now an imperative for last season’s champions. Further dropped points, with Chelsea, Brentford and Everton in pursuit, could force Liverpool into a change of plan.

Fulham, meanwhile, are also in the hunt for European qualification and arrive at Anfield just five points behind the hosts and having dramatically snatched a draw against Liverpool earlier this season. Liverpool supporters will also begin a series of protests against ticket price rises.

Marco Silva on Fulham's motivation for the rest of the season

"The motivation is there on the top, for us and all the clubs around. Last season we were close, fighting to the last months to achieve it.

"This season we are repeating it and that shows the progression of the football club...If we are there we are going to fight definitely."

"The importance of each game is going to be bigger than before because we are just going to have seven games to play.

"And I said the motivation is there on the top as you'd expect. We fought very hard to be in this position right now."

According to Opta, Fulham have won just two of their 32 away league games against Liverpool (D8 L22), winning 1-0 in both May 2012 and March 2021.

Arne Slot insists he feels ‘a lot of support’ from Liverpool owners

Liverpool manager Arne Slot insists he feels “a lot of support” from the club hierarchy ahead of a pivotal eight days that includes a Merseyside derby and the second leg of their Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain and this afternoon’s match with Fulham.

“Not only from the owners but from Richard [Hughes] and Michael [Edwards], a lot of support from them as well but as weird as it might sound I also feel the support from the fans,” Slot said.

"We were going out in Paris when the players went out for the warm-up and after the 4-0 loss [against Manchester City] the fans immediately started singing 'we love Liverpool'.

"I think it's fair to say we were outplayed for 90 minutes and they were still singing and clapping for us. I've said many times, the club knows the period of time we're in and in the mean time I feel complete support.”
