Fulham v Liverpool: Jordan Henderson Ruled Out Of Clash

Liverpool aim to return to the top of the Premier League table on Sunday as they travel to London to face Fulham at Craven Cottage.

With current league leaders Manchester City on FA Cup duty on Saturday, the Reds will know that three points will see them leapfrog their title rivals.

Liverpool should go into the game on a high after their midweek heroics in the Champions League, where they beat Bayern Munich 3-1 in Bavaria to progress to the quarter-finals of Europe's top tournament.

The club's official website have confirmed that influential midfielder Jordan Henderson will miss the trip to Fulham as a consequence.

In more positive news for the Merseyside outfit, Jurgen Klopp is set to welcome box-to-box man Naby Keita back into his first-team squad.

Liverpool fans are dreaming of their first top-flight title since 1990 and returning back to the top of the table ahead of the two-week international break would be a mental boost for the Reds.
