Fulham vs Liverpool predictions

Liverpool’s treble quest is over following Thursday’s Europa League exit to Atalanta and their hopes of a double may be hanging by a thread if they fail to beat Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Reds sit third in the Premier League and, while within hailing distance of Manchester City and Arsenal, are playing catch-up after last weekend's 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace.

That followed a 2-2 draw away at Manchester United and the Reds' recent performances must be of real concern to their army of supporters.

Prior to dropping points at Old Trafford, Liverpool needed a 76th-minute wonder-strike from Alexis Mac Allister on their way to a 3-1 win over rock-bottom Sheffield United at Anfield and before that they were forced to come from behind in a 2-1 victory at home to Brighton.

Throw in a 3-0 first-leg defeat in the Europa League quarter-final to Atalanta and all is not well with Liverpool, who are struggling to give manager Jurgen Klopp the send-off he deserves.

The damage was done in that opening leg, as they were 1-0 winners at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo on Thursday, although having only two shots in the second half when chasing the tie was hugely disappointing.

Given those patchy recent performances, Liverpool are worth opposing at Fulham, who have excelled at home this season by winning nine of their 16 league games at Craven Cottage.

The Cottagers have recorded 5-0 successes over Nottingham Forest and West Ham at their capital base this season, also defeating Brighton and Tottenham 3-0 and edging past title contenders Arsenal 2-1.

Those results show their capabilities and Liverpool will know all too well what Fulham are about, having needed two goals after the 87th-minute mark to claim a 4-3 victory at Anfield earlier in the season.

These clubs also met in the EFL Cup semi-finals, with Liverpool winning 2-1 at home but being held to a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, and the Reds have failed to win on their last three trips to Fulham.

Marco Silva’s men, fresh from last weekend’s 2-0 success at West Ham, are more than capable of frustrating Liverpool and putting another dent in their title aspirations.
