Goodbye for now!
Today's four goalscorers
We were treated to some brilliant goals today as four different players got on the scoresheet. Trent Alexander-Arnold kicked us off with a brilliant free-kick before Timothy Castagne equalised on the stroke of half-time.
Ryan Gravenberch got the Reds back ahead with his first Premier League goal - a brilliant curling effort - before Diogo Jota finished things off with his 100th goal in English football.
FULL TIME: Fulham 1-3 Liverpool
The whistle is blown and Liverpool complete what was a largely complete performance against Fulham as three goals move them level with Arsenal on points at the top of the table.
It was uncomfortable at half time after Fulham levelled the game but the Reds found a way to star in the second half and punished mistakes.
GOAL: Fulham 1-2 Liverpool (Ryan Gravenberch)
Fulham waste so much time playing it out slow from the back and one pass too many ends with the Reds winning possession back.
One pass into Gravenberch gives him the chance to set himself and bend one into the top corner. Liverpool back on top and that's his first goal in the Premier League!
HALF TIME: Fulham 1-1 Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp races down the tunnel at Craven Cottage and he knows the next 45 minutes are vital to Liverpool's Premier League ambitions this season.
His side have been the better team in the first half but have failed to really test Leno but for Alexander-Arnold's brilliant free-kick.
Fulham were clinical at the other end with one of their first efforts on goal producing a goal. All to play for in the second half.
Fulham's recent home form
Today's hosts were dealt a close 1-0 defeat against Newcastle last time out at Craven Cottage but boast a strong home run of wins against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brighton before that.
Marco Silva's side are a staunch opposition on home turf and you sense Liverpool will have to find form amongst their sometimes unpotent attacking trio to take three points away with them today.
Scores elsewhere
There are a couple of games elsewhere in the Premier League today. Everton have beaten Nottingham Forest 2-0 in a huge game at the bottom of the table.
Elsewhere, Liverpool's conquerors last time out, Crystal Palace, are 4-1 up at half-time against West Ham.
While Aston Villa are drawing 1-1 with Bournemouth also at half-time.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have launched an extraordinary statement about VAR which you can read in the article below.
Pre-match stats
Fulham have won just one of their last 11 league meetings with Liverpool - a 1-0 victory at Anfield in 2021.
Liverpool though haven't kept a clean sheet at Craven Cottage since 2009 and if they lose today then it will be their first consecutive top-flight defeats since Bournemouth and Man City in April 2023.
Klopp explains Salah omission
We play three games in six days. I hate thinking about the game after the one in front of us but in our situation we cannot ignore the fact so we make changes to get fresh legs in to use the squad.
'It's the best situation squad-wise we've had all year so that's why we do it. We need them all to start or come on.
We need to be 100 per cent for 95 or 98 minutes. I spoke to Mo and all is fine.
As things stand
So Liverpool can go joint top with Arsenal if they can take three points today.
Easier said than done though as their recent draw with Manchester United and defeat to Crystal Palace suggests.
A defeat today, knowing how consistent Manchester City and Arsenal can be, would likely be curtains on their title challenge.
TEAM NEWS: Liverpool
Well just have a look at that bench. Probably the team you might have expected if Liverpool decided to rest players for their Europa League clash with Atalanta on Thursday.
Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboslai and Ibrahima Konate all on the bench.
Diogo Jota starts up front for the Reds with Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott.
Some big calls there from Klopp, perhaps with the Merseyside Derby this week in mind.
