Liverpool's main focus between now and the end of the season will be on their Premier League campaign.

The Reds exited the Europa League in midweek after a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Atalanta, despite winning 1-0 on Thursday in Bergamo. After losing in the FA Cup last month, Liverpool now have just the league to focus on in the final weeks of the campaign.

Jurgen Klopp's side head into Sunday's trip to Fulham in third place in the table. Manchester City and Arsenal are both ahead of the Reds in the table, with City in FA Cup action this weekend against Chelsea.

Liverpool will have the belief they can still win the league title despite being knocked off the top spot in recent weeks following the draw with Manchester United and defeat to Crystal Palace. Starting with the trip to Craven Cottage, the Reds have just six Premier League fixtures remaining to try and finish Klopp's final season in charge on the best possible note.

Injuries have severely restricted Klopp's team selection options in recent months, with several of the squad's key stars being unavailable. However, this weekend will see just five players absent from the matchday squad due to injury.

Conor Bradley remains unavailable as he recovers from an ankle injury he suffered in the defeat to Palace last week. Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak also remain unavailable for Liverpool for the game against Fulham.
