TEAMS PREVIEW

Fulham FC Preview

It'll be a tough test for the Cottagers on Sunday, but they can take heart from their last clash with Liverpool—a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield. They even led twice that day, showing they have what it takes to rattle the Reds. Regardless, expect Cottagers to be mentally ready for the battle, having already faced Arsenal in the midweek match. 

Fulham struggles against the top teams in the league, having only managed to secure a single point in their last eleven encounters with them. Their recent scoring form has also been somewhat inconsistent, with the Cottagers exceeding two goals in just one of their previous seven matches across all competitions. Despite this, Raul Jimenez has been a bright spot for Fulham, leading their scoring charts in the 2024/25 season with a commendable tally of ten goals.

Silva switched things up with a 3-4-2-1 against Arsenal, but he’s likely to return to his trusted 4-2-3-1 when facing Liverpool’s fearsome attack. Meanwhile, Fulham will be without Harry Wilson and Kenny Tete for Sunday’s contest. 

Fulham Probable XI - Leno(GK); Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz

Liverpool FC Preview

Having led the Premier League for months, Arne Slot’s Liverpool now stand just eight games away from lifting English football’s most coveted prize. A title win would not only mark a triumphant debut season for Slot, but also bring Liverpool level with Manchester United’s record of 20 league titles. Yet, despite the glory within reach, there may be a hint of regret—what could have been a historic quadruple is now reduced to a single piece of glory. 

Liverpool has been a formidable force in the Premier League this season, suffering defeat on only one occasion, which occurred back in September of the previous year. Their away form has been particularly impressive, with the Reds securing victories in ten of their fifteen matches on the road while maintaining an unbeaten record in those games.

The Reds have been a force on the road this season, and leading the charge is none other than the ‘Egyptian King’—Mohamed Salah. With 14 goals and 9 assists away from home, he’s been at the heart of Liverpool’s dominance. Remarkably, he’s played a direct role in 8 of the team’s last 8 away goals, scoring five and assisting three—a talismanic presence when it matters most. Liverpool's trip to Craven Cottage comes with a cloud of uncertainty, as key players Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley, and Joe Gomez remain injury doubts. 

Liverpool Probable XI - Alisson (GK) ; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

FULHAM FC vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning Prediction

Heading to Craven Cottage on Sunday, Liverpool carries a quiet confidence, having avoided defeat in their last six visits—a streak they will be eager to extend as the title race heats up. Notably, even with ten men, Liverpool managed to secure a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season.

While Fulham might take some encouragement from a recent home victory, they haven't achieved consecutive wins at Craven Cottage since March 2024. The oddsmakers have Liverpool as the favorites to win at 1.83, with Fulham priced at 4.40 and a draw at 3.80.
