Liverpool Faces Critical Selection Dilemma vs Fulham – Klopp to make 4 changes?

Fresh off an impressive Premier League victory, Liverpool gears up for a high-stakes League Cup semi-final clash vs Fulham, but Jurgen Klopp is grappling with key selection challenges.

In a dazzling 4-0 triumph against Bournemouth, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota stole the spotlight with their brace, propelling Liverpool to a five-point lead at the Premier League summit.

The Reds, with just one defeat in their last 32 league matches, now aim to secure a spot in the League Cup final against Fulham on Wednesday.

However, Klopp faces a conundrum with limited options for rotation due to a shortage of players.

Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is set to take the reins, and with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s availability uncertain, Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez could be pivotal in defense.

The midfield could see changes, with Dominik Szoboszlai nearing a return from a hamstring issue, but Curtis Jones nursing a muscle problem.

Alexis Mac Allister is likely to continue at number six, while the absence of Wataru Endo at the Asia Cup leaves a void to fill.

The right-wing dilemma intensifies with Mohamed Salah and Ben Doak sidelined. Luis Diaz started against Bournemouth, but Diogo Jota also showcased his prowess in the role. The attacking trio of Jota, Nunez, and Cody Gakpo displayed versatility, giving Klopp tactical flexibility.

As Liverpool eyes Wembley, the crucial decisions in defense, midfield, and attack will play a pivotal role in their quest for League Cup glory. Klopp’s selection puzzle adds an extra layer of intrigue to this high-stakes encounter.

Liverpool Possible Starting Lineup vs Fulham:

Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Elliott, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Jota, Nunez
