These two teams come into this game hurting for various reasons. Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Red Star Belgrade in their Champions League game in midweek, it was a shocking performance that deserves a response. Fulham, on the other hand, suffered yet another loss on Monday against Huddersfield that effectively sent them to the bottom of the Premier League table.
Liverpool have maintained an unbeaten start to the Premier League season but draws against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have left them trailing both Manchester City and Chelsea, the former by two points, the latter on goal difference.
They have generally been good at home so far, winning all but one home league game (against Manchester City). The likes of Mohamed Salah have begun to find their scoring boot and they should help the Reds take Fulham apart in this game.
Fulham’s manager Slavisa Jokanovic is on the verge of getting sacked after their poor start to the season. His teams usually get better as the season progresses, but we all know that it can be difficult to recover from an early slump in the Premier League.
The Cottagers come into this game on the back of four straight losses and they have conceded the most goal in the Premier League this season. They also have an awful record when they play Liverpool.
They have lost all of their last 4 games against Liverpool and managed to score just once in their last 8 visits to Anfield.
