Not played yet and the first controversy against Fulham because of the FA

Liverpool will be looking to keep picking up points when they take on Fulham on Sunday. The Reds will be looking to stay in the Premier League title race, as after drawing against Manchester City, the competition seems to have gone down to the wire with Aston Villa, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool now all competing at the top of the table within a point of each other.

So this match will be important, as one mistake and the Reds could lose the chance to stay at the top. In addition, the position in midfield and in attack is still in dispute, so the players will give their best to keep their starting position, so Darwin Núñez and Cody Gakpo will have to take advantage of each of their opportunities to be the starting striker.

This would have a bad news before the start of the match, and is that after the appointment of the referees in charge of directing the match at Anfield next Sunday, and among them will be Paul Tierney. So this is undoubtedly bad news for the Reds and Jürgen Klopp, for all the history that exists and continues to extend as the games go by.

So the players will have to be very focused on the game and not get out of the manager's ideas at any time. Since any action can be, as is already a habit with Tierney, misinterpreted and end up in a resolution that ends up indirectly affecting the outcome of the matches, so this is already a determining factor for this match.

<strong>Jürgen Klopp will have to be cautious</strong>

Klopp knows that he will have to be the first to keep his composure during the match, showing his team the control they need to have in spite of the situation. Paul Tierney will be on the VAR during the match, and Liverpool have already been affected by the VAR this tournament when Luis Diaz's goal was disallowed, so we will have to wait and see if everything can be carried out correctly.
