    Aleksandar Mitrovic does well to hold the ball up, ease the pressure on Fulham and get them up the pitch.

    A Liverpool player then helps him stretch a bit of cramp out of his legs. The Serbia striker has worked his socks off today and is named BT Sport's man of the match.

    Writing Liverpool off after 45 mins against a good side in a difficult fixture? Oh dear. Have some perspective. At least let the Reds do their bit in the second half.

    The way Fulham have approached this game is for me always the way to play against teams like Liverpool and City. Press them all over the park and don't let them settle. I don't know why other teams don't do this more often.

    Well worked goal for Liverpool.

    Nunez does really well again, gets himself in position, causes a lot of bother for the Fulham defence.

    I don't think he means to lay the ball off, it hits him and falls to Salah, who finishes.

    That's the sixth straight season that Mohamed Salah has scored on the opening day.

    It's also his 158th goal for Liverpool, putting him level with Michael Owen in eighth place on the club's all-time scorers list.

    GOAL - Mohamed Salahpublished at 82 mins

    Fulham 2-2 Liverpool

    After being so organised for most of the game, the Fulham defence is a bit of a mess here and Liverpool make them pay.

    The Reds break and lift it towards the penalty spot. Defender Tim Ream can only help it on with his head, and although Darwin Nunez can't quite latch onto it, it falls for Mohamed Salah to smash it home from close range.

    Jesse Marsch names four of his summer signings in his first Leeds starting XI of 2022-23, with Rasmus Kristensen, Tyler Adams, Marc Roca and Brendan Aaronson all included.

    Dane Kristensen is at right-back, Spaniard Roca will partner Adams in midfield and the latter's fellow American Aaronson will look to be a menace further forward in one of three attacking midfield roles.

    Another new signing, Luis Sinisterra, misses out through a hamstring injury suffered in pre-season. The Whites are also without Adam Forshaw, Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo and Stuart Dallas, while Dan James is suspended. With Firpo missing, Pascal Struijk will play at left-back.

    Patrick Bamford starts in attack, having missed much of last season through injury.

    Wolves are without the injured Raul Jimenez, who suffered a knee problem during a pre-season friendly with Besiktas. He is expected to miss the first few weeks of the campaign.

    Hwang Hee-Chan does start, with Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence alongside him in attack.

    There is no Joao Moutinho in midfield after he picked up an injury in training.

    Morgan Gibbs-White, who is reportedly wanted by newly-promoted Nottingham Forest, has a chance to impress in midfield.

    Nathan Collins, signed this summer from Burnley, partners Maximilian Kilman in the centre of what looks like a back four, with Conor Coady on the bench.

    Brilliant goal from Mitrovic, great finish. The penalty was cool, calm. Enormous amount of pressure on him.

    Alisson waits for it, goes the right way but Mitrovic puts it so far into the corner, with pace. Alisson had no chance.

    GOAL - Aleksandar Mitrovicpublished at 72 mins

    Fulham 2-1 Liverpool

    Wow, not many people do this to Virgil van Dijk.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic runs at the Liverpool defender and gets him backing up into his own box.

    Mitrovic shifts the ball to the other side of the Dutch international and he dangles out his right leg. Van Dijk doesn't get the ball but does get some of Mitrovic and the referee immediately points to the penalty spot.

    It's Mitrovic who'll take the spot-kick and he holds his nerve to sidefoot the ball into the bottom-right corner and put Fulham back in front.
