Welcome to our live coverage of Arne Slot's press conference to preview Liverpool's crucial Premier League clash at home to Fulham. The Reds boss will be with us at 9am.
And expect the first question to be about Andy Robertson, who last night confirmed he would be leaving the club at the end of the season once his contract expires.
The left-back becomes the second modern-day club legend to announce his departure after Mohamed Salah, whose name is likely to be brought up during the press conference itself after the forward was left as an unused substitute in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg 2-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain.
Slot is likely to be asked in the mood in the camp following that chastening loss and the latest on goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is hoping to return from a hamstring injury in the coming weeks, and defender Ibrahima Konate, who is reportedly edging closer to signing a new Liverpool contract.
Ian Doyle is at the AXA Training Centre to bring you live updates.
Arne Slot has finished the open section of his press conference and will now sit with written journalists, including our own Ian Doyle, for the embargoed section.
Content from that will be available to publish from 10.30pm this evening. So keep an eye on the ECHO's site tonight and tomorrow's print edition.
Thanks for joining us.
The Liverpool head coach is here so we can begin...
The Liverpool boss is running late.
Here at the AXA just waiting for Slot to turn up.
Not many here really compared to usual regards the press intake - wonder how many were at the Aintree races yesterday or are going today?
Let's hope the Liverpool boss is feeling chatty.
Our chief Liverpool writer Ian Doyle is en route to the AXA Training Centre. He'll be in place to take over this blog before Arne Slot's 9am arrival.
Some transfer gossip before the press conference starts?
Well, talkSPORT understands Morgan Rogers is likely to leave Aston Villa this summer, even if they qualify for the Champions League, and he is of interest to Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Chelsea.
Liverpool fan group Spion Kop 1906 are set to remove their flags from the Kop at Anfield in protest at rising ticket prices.
Liverpool announced last month that ticket prices will increase in line with inflation over the next three seasons.
Following Liverpool's supporters' union Spirit of Shankly's announcement outlining plans to protest against rising ticket prices, beginning with Fulham's visit on Saturday evening (5.30pm kick-off), Spion Kop 1906 have now released their own statement.

Hugo Ekitike has had an excellent debut season at Liverpool.
But does the striker need a breather against Fulham, particularly now Arne Slot has strength in depth in attack.
Ian Doyle has been weighing up the starting changes facing the Reds boss HERE.
Late last night, after Andy Robertson confirmed he would be leaving Liverpool, Mohamed Salah took to social media to post four pictures of the two Anfield greats together, with these words:
"With these pictures showing the bond we shared, I almost felt I could get away with saying nothing about you leaving. It’s been an honour to be your teammate and your friend. You’ve won it all and you leave as a legend. I’m sure we will meet again."
It really is an end of an era.
The former Everton boss held his press conference yesterday and here's what he had to say about the Reds:
Arne Slot rarely gives anything away at press conference when it comes to transfers or contracts.
But don't be surprised if he gets asked about Ibrahima Konate's current situation.
The centre-back's deal runs out in the summer and is potentially just a couple of months away from leaving the club on a free transfer.
But Fabrizio Romano tweeted yesterday that the Reds "are now closer to reaching a full agreement" with Konate over a new deal.
Graeme Souness believes Liverpool's players are as much to blame for a miserable season as head coach Arne Slot.
And the Anfield legend has questioned the attitude of the squad to do the basics and work hard with the Reds now in real danger of ending the campaign empty-handed.

There appeared to be no fresh injury concerns following Liverpool's Champions League defeat at Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.
That means Arne Slot is set to be without Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Giovanni Leoni for the visit of Fulham.
Of that quartet, Alisson looks likely to be the only one who will play again this season.
So expect an update on the Reds' No.1 this morning.
The big news line is last nigth's announcement that Andy Robertson will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Robertson signed for Liverpool from Hull City for £8m in the summer of 2017 and has won two Premier League titles, a Champions League, the FA Cup and two League Cups, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Community Shield, across nine decorated years with the club.
The Scotland captain was the subject of interest from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window and La Liga giants Atletico Madrid last summer.
But Robertson has now revealed his time on Merseyside is coming to an end.
This morning will be the first time that Arne Slot has spoken about the 32-year-old's imminent departure.
And welcome to our live coverage of Arne Slot's latest Liverpool press conference.
The Reds head coach will be speaking from 9am to preview the crucial Premier League clash with Fulham at Anfield on Saturday evening.
Liverpool go into the match in fifth place but a fourth straight defeat in all competitions would see Fulham, who are down in ninth, close the gap on the defending champions to a single point.
But on the flip side, a much-needed victory would move the Reds four points above Chelsea in the race for Champions League football ahead of their rivals' tricky test at home to title-challenging Manchester City on Sunday.
So, yes, it's a big game.
But that's not all Slot will be quizzed on this morning...
