Liverpool FC News Recap: Reds beat Fulham, Mbappe UPDATE, & 2024/25 home kit LEAKED
Liverpool had to fight for it but they turned things around to beat Fulham on Wednesday evening the Carabao Cup. That's one foot in the final ahead of the second leg.
In truth, the Reds weren't particularly good across the 90 minutes and were pretty awful for nearly an hour. The introduction of Darwin Nunez turned the tide, however - the Uruguayan was unstoppable.
A depleted team found a way to win, though, and that's the real story here. The Reds just keep on moving closer to silverware this season.

But Jones was great all-around, really, in another performance that showed his importance to the team. Klopp couldn't help but laugh at his post-match request for more game time, however.

PSG president makes statement on Kylian Mbappe
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al Khelaifi has outlined his desire for Liverpool-linked Kylian Mbappe to remain at the club beyond the end of this season, while also acknowledging the existence of an 'agreement' with the forward.
"Look, I'm not hiding anything," he is quoted as telling RMC. "For sure I want Mbappe to stay. For me he is the best in the world and for me the best club for Kylian is Paris.
"He is the centre of the project today. It's normal to ask about him. For me he is the best in the world, I have a very good relationship with him. Not only as a player, as a person.
"He has an agreement with me, as he has said. There is no negotiation, but I think he is still young, he wants to win many trophies and hopefully with us."
Anfield Watch understands the Reds would only move for Mbappe if Mohamed Salah were to leave this summer.
