Liverpool FC have just two wins in their last nine across all competitions, and thus, the Premier League weekend fixture is one that they really need to win. Coming off such an embarrassing loss to Red Star Belgrade in midweek, they need to wipe that from their memory banks, and winning is the best way to do so, especially since another long, boring international break looms.
Enter Fulham, the team that is literally dead last in the table: it may just be the perfect timing for a match of this sort.
With his having to miss out in midweek due to political reasons, we included Xherdan Shaqiri in our starting XI prediction. Here is the rest of our expected first team.
