Hoping to extend their perfect home record in the 2023-24 season, Liverpool welcome Fulham to their Anfield fortress for Sunday's Premier League encounter.
The Reds thumped LASK Linz 4-0 on Thursday to qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League, while Marco Silva's men controversially ran out 3-2 winners versus Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night.
The Reds passed up the opportunity to qualify three weeks ago in a dampening 3-2 loss versus Toulouse, but with the French side only taking a point off of Union SG, Liverpool assured themselves of top spot courtesy of a Cody Gakpo brace, Luis Diaz header and Mohamed Salah's 199th Reds goal.
With nothing but pride on the line in their final group game versus Union SG later on this month, Klopp unsurprisingly hailed the importance of wrapping up progression early as Liverpool prepare for an unforgiving winter schedule, starting with the first of eight fixtures pencilled in for December this weekend.
Last weekend's top-of-the-table showdown versus Manchester City did not exactly live up to the pre-game hype, but a fine Trent Alexander-Arnold strike rescued a point for the Reds in a 1-1 draw versus the treble winners, even if the referee's whistle did have to come to their rescue when Ruben Dias tapped in after Manuel Akanji felled Alisson Becker.
