Liverpool vs Fulham

High-flying Liverpool will be looking to consolidate their European quest when they meet mid-table Fulham in a midweek Premier League showdown.

After a nerve-shredding 4-3 home win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend extended Liverpool’s winning run in the Premier League to four matches, another qualification for Europe looks like a near-certainty. In the midst of the team’s richest vein of form in 2023, the ‘Reds’ are looking to avenge a gut-wrenching 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture against Fulham and arrest an underwhelming three-match winless H2H streak against them in the Premier League (D2, L1). Jurgen Klopp’s men have thrived in midweek fixtures in recent years, racking up an eye-catching 14 victories in their last 16 such match-ups in the top flight (D1, L1), including all seven wins at Anfield. On top of that, May traditionally suits Liverpool, as they’ve won 11 of their last 12 Premier League outings played this month (D1).

In the meantime, Fulham’s form wobble in the Premier League continued last weekend as Manchester City squeezed past Marco Silva’s team 2-1, condemning them to a sixth defeat in their previous eight league matches (W2). The upcoming trip to Anfield could deepen the crisis, considering the ‘Cottagers’ have suffered seven losses in their last eight away league encounters against sides placed better than them in the table (W1). If that’s not enough to dampen the spirits in the visiting camp, an abysmal run of four defeats across their last five competitive travels (W1) could finish the job. Connoisseurs of action-packed football could still relish this contest, considering four of those five Fulham trips witnessed over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet.
