Changes Jurgen Klopp could make for League Cup clash: Liverpool vs Fulham
Key changes are anticipated, including Caoimhin Kelleher stepping in for Alisson Becker in goal. The defensive lineup depends on Virgil van Dijk’s recovery from illness, with Jarell Quansah ready to deputize alongside Ibrahima Konate.

Left-back decisions rest on Gomez’s role, while Owen Beck and Luke Chambers come into consideration due to injuries to Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.
Conor Bradley’s promising cameo suggests competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, offering Klopp flexibility in the lineup.
