It surely won't be Gomez or Frimpong 😬 Liverpool’s Predicted XI vs Fulham Reed will not have a chance to repeat Liverpool heroicsReed was the unlikely hero for Fulham during January’s draw, scoring a last-gasp equaliser which Liverpool fans will not be forgetting any time soon.Arne Slot was certainly impressed, hailing the ‘incredible’ nature of the strike immediately after the game.But speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Silva confirmed that Reed had picked up a knock leading up to the game and would therefore not get a chance to repeat his heroics.“Harrison Reed is going to be out,” the Portuguese said.
