The Premier League returns with another set of fixtures this week, featuring an important match at Anfield on Wednesday, where Fulham will face Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side.
Liverpool currently occupies fifth place in the Premier League standings, showing improvement after a sluggish start to their season. The Merseyside team claimed a thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend and will aim to build on that momentum in this match.
Fulham, conversely, sit in 10th place in the league table and have displayed inconsistency throughout the season. The Cottagers suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Manchester City in their last game and will be looking to bounce back this week.
Liverpool holds a strong historical record against Fulham, with 41 wins out of the 72 matches played between the two teams, compared to Fulham’s 13 victories. Liverpool has failed to secure a win in their last three Premier League games against Fulham – their longest winless run against the Cottagers since 1967. Fulham has claimed victory in just two of their last 29 away games against Liverpool in the Premier League, but both wins occurred within their last five visits to Anfield.
After managing only one win in 55 league games away from home against Everton and Liverpool, Fulham has triumphed in their last three matches against these Merseyside rivals. Liverpool has won 14 of their last 16 midweek games in the Premier League, with victories in all seven of their Anfield matches during this period.
Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction
Liverpool has been in excellent form recently, showcasing an impressive attacking display. However, they did encounter some defensive issues against Tottenham Hotspur and will need to address these concerns before this match. Over 2.5 goals recommended with bet365 at 10/11.
