Liverpool XI vs Fulham: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

However, Andoni Iraola allayed those fears by insisting the £123million summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain was suffering from cramp.

"Barcola was just cramp,” the Spaniard said on Friday.

“We have to evaluate how he is today, but there is no injury. I think he should be available if everything goes normal.

“He played 30 the other day [and] today we had some question marks, how many minutes he can give us and probably now we know.”

"Cody, we will see,” Iraola continued. “We will try today and see if he is ready for tomorrow or if we need to wait until the next one."

Rio Ngumoha and Victor Munoz are on standby if Gakpo fails to recover, while Jeremie Frimpong is also an option at right-wing.

Milos Kerkez should be fine to keep his place at left-back despite also suffering from cramp late on in the Champions League tie, meaning Iraola can name an unchanged back four for the third game in a row.

Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai are set to continue in midfield, with changes expected in next week’s Carabao Cup third round meeting with Tottenham. Alexander Isak will look to add to his three Premier League goals as he leads the line again.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Ngumoha, Wirtz, Barcola; Isak.
