Paul Gorst - Go for the traditional Reds side
The good news for Liverpool is the welcome return of Alisson Becker in goal for this one.
The bad news is, of course, the absence of Diogo Jota with that knee injury. So this team - or at least the top end of it - will resemble something more traditional for the Reds.
Alisson comes back into the fold behind a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Joel Matip and Andy Robertson.
That is about as strong as it gets right now. I'd back them to keep out a limited Fulham.
In midfield, the Duracell bunny that is Gini Wijnaldum was given a night off in Denmark in midweek, so he is back in the side with Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones who just gets the nod ahead of Naby Keita.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain can give 20 minutes from the bench, all being well.
Up top, it's Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Matip, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones; Salah, Mane, Firmino.
Matt Addison - Oxlade-Chamberlain can come off the bench
Let's start with the easy bits: Alisson Becker starts in goal and the front three picks itself given the Diogo Jota injury.
And at the back, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Roberton are both certainties alongside Joel Matip and Fabinho.
So that just leaves the midfield.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is back and should get some time on the pitch, for sure, but he won't start after four months or so out.
Naby Keita may also be back in contention, though again, he might have to wait and come off the sidelines.
I'm going for Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson, certainly, and then they can be joined by Curtis Jones.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Jones; Mane, Salah, Firmino
Chris Beesley - Alisson and Trent the big positives
Given his regular grumbles over players being overloaded, recovery times and the number of substitutions, I can't for the life of me understand why Jurgen Klopp risked so many senior players in what was a genuine Champions League dead rubber in Denmark on Wednesday.
The Liverpool manager is now counting the cost of star of the season so far Diogo Jota's inclusion that night after the Portuguese ace picked up a knee injury that keeps him out at Craven Cottage - and potentially the entire festive programme.

There are some plus points though with number one Alisson having returned to training and fit-again Trent Alexander-Arnold having got more minutes under his belt so both should start.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Matip, Fabinho; Henderson, Wijnladum, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Mane.
