Fun fact: The most lopsided edition of this rivalry came in 1986-87, and it was an EFL Cup clash, just like this. Liverpool won 10-0 on that day.
The Reds will enter this clash with the advantage of already being up a goal on aggregate. So things are looking up for the Merseysiders, as they look to book a spot in a cup final in midweek.
So without any further ado, let’s take a look at what lineup Klopp might go with in this one.
Liverpool FC Starting XI Prediction (4-3-3) vs Fulham (EFL Cup Semifinal Leg 2)
Alisson; Owen Beck, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones; Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo Darwin Nunez
