Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker might be given the green light to make his comeback from a head injury in Sunday's Premier League showdown with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Reds' number one missed Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Merseyside rivals Everton due to concussion protocol after his knock on Brazil duty, but in Arne Slot's words, he only failed to "tick the last box".

The Liverpool boss refused to give much away in his pre-game press conference, but Alisson should be in with a strong chance of returning in Caoimhin Kelleher's place in the English capital.

Alisson is one of two Reds men who might come back for gameweek 31 - Conor Bradley is close to making a full recovery from a thigh injury - but Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold are still absent.

Nevertheless, Slot is not short of right-back options and deployed Curtis Jones in such a role on Wednesday night, but he also talked up Jarell Quansah as a viable alternative when addressing the media the next day.

As a result, it would not be a complete shock to see Quansah replace Jones for the trip to Fulham, but his and Alisson's introductions should be the only alterations that the Dutchman considers on Sunday.

There was little for Mohamed Salah to celebrate from a personal standpoint in the Merseyside derby, but the Egypt international is now on the brink of adding another Premier League record to his astounding CV.

Having had a direct hand in at least two goals in each of his last four Premier League away games, Salah could become the first player to register two or more goal contributions in five straight road matches in the competition.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
