Fulham vs Liverpool Preview
- Date – Sunday, April 21, 2024
- Kick-off Time – 04:30 pm GMT
- Venue – Craven Cottage
Liverpool will be facing in-form Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon at Craven Cottage. The Reds would be looking to increase their gap to league-leaders Manchester City after a lackluster performance against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Jurgen Klopp’s side has dropped a few points in recent weeks even though they have accumulated 71 points from 32 games played this season. Liverpool currently boasts the third-best attack in the league and they have been assured at the back of having the second-best defence on record. The Reds have won only one of their last five games in all competitions and will be looking to regain their momentum this weekend.
They will then take on Fulham, who are languishing just below the European spots in the league table. They will be meeting Liverpool for the fourth time this season and could move closer to the European spots if they can achieve favourable results at home. But unfortunately, Fulham hasn’t beaten Liverpool at Craven Cottage since 2011. The two sides have faced each other on three occasions so far this season.
Fulham vs Liverpool Team News
Fulham will be boosted with the return of Rodrigo Muniz after he was passed with a recent muscular issue. Other than Marco Silva has the entire squad at his disposal and has no serious injury concerns.
On the other hand, Liverpool will be without long-term absentees Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, and Stefan Bajcetic. Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold are working to return to the first-team fold whereas Allison returned to the matchday squad last week against Crystal Palace.

Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction
The Reds are certainly the heavy favorites coming into this fixture even though they succumbed to a surprising 1-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend. They are currently sitting at third place with results seemingly not going in their direction in recent times. Liverpool boasts one of the best attacks this season, having scored 72 goals in the league this season.
Meanwhile, Marco Silva’s side have struggled to gather any consistent form in recent weeks but will enjoy another season at the top flight next week. The home side enters this game with some mixed form in all competitions. The Cottagers have the opportunity to move further into the top half of the table if they manage to secure three points at home.
Predicted Score: Fulham 1-3 Liverpool
