The pressure will be on Liverpool in the race for the Premier League title this weekend after losing ground on Man City in the previous round of fixtures. Fulham come into this home match after ending a three-game winless streak last Sunday.
The race for the Premier League title took an unexpected turn last weekend, as Liverpool dropped to third after suffering a third defeat of the campaign. That loss leaves Liverpool with a mountain to climb at this stage of the season, as they are now two points behind City. The loss also means that the Reds have now failed to win in three of their last five matches in the Premier League.
However, few could have foreseen the shock result at Anfield last weekend, as Liverpool dropped to a 1-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace. The Reds were wasteful in the final third of that fixture, as they hit the target on just six occasions from 21 shots. That defeat also means that the Reds have lost back-to-back matches in all competitions for the first time since April 2023.
Fulham should be confident coming into this showdown after bouncing back to winning ways in their most recent fixture. That was a much-needed success for the Cottagers, and it lifted them back up to 12th in the standings. A rare win over Liverpool this weekend could lift them into the top half of the standings.
Andreas Pereira was the standout star in that win for the Cottagers after netting both goals in the success. The win was also their fourth success in London derbies this term, which is their most in a single season in the Premier League.
Liverpool have picked up victories in three of their last four matches against Fulham across all competitions, which includes a 4-3 success in the previous league meetings this term. However, each of the last three meetings between the sides across all competitions at Craven Cottage have ended in draws.
This is a must-win showdown for the Reds this weekend, as they can’t afford to lose more ground on the top of the standings. It will be a difficult challenge for Jurgen Klopp’s team, but we expect them to record maximum points at Craven Cottage this weekend.
