This will be our look at of Fulham vs. Liverpool for this weekend’s critical Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage.
If Liverpool wants to stay in any kind of title challenge, they have to rapidly return to winning methods in the Premier League. Even though Arsenal’s setback earlier reduced the damage, the loss to Crystal Palace at home was still a major defeat.
If they still want to compete with Manchester City for the title race, they can hardly afford to lose matches twice in succession.
Yet, the Reds could pick up their winning streak in the league. Things will seem a little easier if they defeat Fulham, especially since Man City are battling in the FA Cup. If Liverpool wins, they could regain the lead in the Premier League once again.
In this preview, we’ll cover all you want to learn about Fulham vs. Liverpool.
Head To Head Record
Liverpool and Fulham both have now played against one another 76 times after their encounter earlier this season. It is hardly unexpected that the Reds have a stronger record in this matchup.
Liverpool only lost 13 of the matchups, winning 44 of them. Just two of these defeats have occurred at Anfield.
One of the most thrilling matches between the clubs this season was the Reds’ 4-3 triumph over Fulham. Liverpool trailed 1-0 until the 87th minute, but they returned for all three points owing to goals from Alexander-Arnold as well as Wataru Endo.
With three wins and two draws in the last five encounters with Fulham, Liverpool is also undefeated. Due to a two-legged semi-final of the Carabao Cup, they will also be playing Fulham for the fourth time this season.
Team News For Liverpool
With the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Alisson Becker from the injury in the previous ten days, Liverpool is progressively rebuilding their starting lineup.
One noteworthy setback is Conor Bradley, who hurt himself the previous weekend facing Crystal Palace and won’t be back before at least the beginning of May.
Team News For Fulham
It seems slightly illogical, but Fulham looks to have an entire fit squad from which to choose.
Despite taking a minor knock the previous week, Armando Broja was still available to play against the Hammers on Sunday in stoppage time. He’ll be ready for even more facing Liverpool.
How Liverpool will line up against Fulham?
We are expecting a full-power lineup because Liverpool needs to be at their strongest to win the English Premier League crown.
With his return from injury, Alisson Becker will likely start in the goal
Trent Alexander-Arnold is probably fit by now to play at right back.
Virgil van Dijk as well as Ibrahima Konaté appear to be the most obvious choices to play as the centre-backs. Given how much he’s played lately, Andy Robertson may withdraw. At left back, Kostas Tsimikas is the one we chose.
Our projections for the midfield are Curtis Jones, Wataru Endo, along Alexis Mac Allister. Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, along Mohamed Salah are the top three picks.
