Eight days until Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield in the opening fixture of GW30 — and the beginning of the Champions League qualification run-in. For Arne Slot, the preparation window is valuable. The international break has provided rest and recovery — now the focus shifts entirely to Saturday 11 April. Injury watch: Alisson's fitness is the most important medical update of the week. If the goalkeeper is available, Liverpool's defensive confidence is significantly higher. Mo Salah's condition will also be monitored — any niggles from international duty need to be managed carefully given his age and the importance of the remaining fixtures. Fulham scouting: Slot will have begun watching Marco Silva's recent matches already. Fulham's pressing structure from the front, their wide attackers' movements, and their defensive shape against high-tempo home sides will all be mapped. Training emphasis: Liverpool's early pressing triggers and the specific sequences that have led to goals against similar opponents. Getting Salah and Ekitike into positions where they can exploit Fulham's defensive transitions in the first 20 minutes. The target is clear: three points on Saturday, and the crowd's energy carries into the harder fixtures that follow. 📅 Sat 11 Apr, 08:30 UTC | Anfield 🏆 GW30 | The Eight-Day Build
