Liverpool will continue their title challenge this weekend when the table-topping Reds face Fulham at Anfield on Saturday. Arne Slot's side sit four points clear of Chelsea at the summit of the Premier League, but have a game in hand after last weekend's Merseyside derby was called off.

It means Liverpool have gone 10 days between domestic top flight matches, a rarity at this time of year as the festive fixture list ramps up.

Liverpool did have to navigate another Champions League fixture, with Slot's side maintaining their place at the top of the table with a victory over Girona in Spain on Tuesday.

And it's no surprise to see Liverpool's squad all smiles as they arrived for training on Thursday as they ramped up preparations for the clash with the Cottagers. Here are some of the things we noticed from the videos put out by Liverpoolfc.com on Thursday:

Mohamed Salah's offer to Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa is closing in on a return to action after an injury disrupted start to life at Liverpool. The Italian has featured just twice since a £10m move from Juventus in August but has clearly established himself as a popular member of the squad.

And the man for whom Chiesa will provide competition, Mohamed Salah, clearly enjoys a close relationship with the 27-year-old.

Salah could be heard asking whether Chiesa was still planning on going to dinner with him and even went as far as offering to make the Italian a home-cooked meal.

Here's hoping the Egyptian King is as good in the kitchen as he is in the penalty area.

Luis Diaz's impressive skills

Over on the other wing, Luis Diaz has enjoyed a standout season for the Reds so far this term. The Colombian has been a key player for Arne Slot as he and Cody Gakpo have made Liverpool's left wing as deadly as their right.

And Diaz was glimpsed showing some exceptional skills as he juggled a tennis ball while his team-mates watched on from the gym area.

Diogo Jota serenaded

Another player closing in on a welcome return to action is Diogo Jota. The Portuguese forward has been sidelined since October after he suffered an upper body injury during the 2-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield.

He's been back out on the grass this week and could soon join his team-mates in full training, and his return clearly can't come soon enough for his team-mates.

Indeed, Jota's arrival at the AXA was greeted by a song from Andy Robertson, who gave a rendition of the Jota ditty made popular on the Kop.

Here's hoping Liverpool fans will have plenty of reasons to sing Jota's song in the months to come as he gets back to his best.
