TEAMS PREVIEW

Liverpool FC Preview

The last time the Reds suffered a defeat to Fulham was during the Pandemic stricken era of March 2021 when Mario Lemina scored in an empty Anfield. That being the only thorn in the flower, Liverpool have gone on to win 9 of their past 12 Premier League outings with Fulham.

The Reds have been scoring goals through threatening attacking ability, scoring 2+ goals in each of their last seven Premier League games. The beauty of this team is a mixture of Klopp’s attacking prowess versus the calm and composed measure of Slot. In 2024 alone, the scousers have scored an incredible 76 goals in 33 games. This marks their second-best average goals per game in a year (2.3) in the Premier League era. Saturday’s fixture marks a team who has amassed the second most points from losing positions since last season in the Premier League (Liverpool with 36), versus a team that lost the second most points from losing positions in the Premier League (Fulham with 11).

Salah's Magic

One thing we know about Mohammad Salah is that he loves scoring and breaking records. The Egyptian has now scored 99 goals in 140 games at home in the Premier League. 2 of those have come at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea, while 97 have come at Anfield. If Salah scores on Saturday, he will join a list of celebrated names who have gone on to score 100+ goals on home turf in the competition. . He has been directly involved in at least two goals in Liverpool’s previous four Premier League outings (6 goals, 3 assists). 

Trendy Trent

There’s a good reason why Liverpool want to keep hold of Trent Alexander-Arnold. He has the ability to create something out of nothing. The Englishman has assisted Salah on 10 occasions, all leading to a goal. Only Sadio Mane has been fed more. During Klopp’s attacking line up of Salah, Mane and Firmino, goals came in plenty. Now Trent has joined that party by becoming only the third Liverpool player with 10+ assists for two different players. This should remind the Merseyside club to do everything in their power to secure the scouser from leaving for Madrid.

Injury - Chiesa, Bradley, Konate, Jota, Tsmikias are all part of the treatment room. 

Liverpool Probable 11 - Allison (GK), Trent, Gomez, Virgil, Robertson (DEF), MacAllister, Gravenberch, Curtis (MID) Salah, Darwin, Diaz (FWD).

Fulham FC Preview

The Cottagers will want to replicate what Nottingham Forest did a couple of months back at Anfield. But they have been doing that for as any Fulham fan can recall. Marco Silva’s team’s last three Premier League wins have come with a solitary scoreline, with the last two at Anfield. Although these wins have come in the span of a decade, Fulham will know that it’s just the three points that count. The club from London are truly enjoying this campaign, securing 23 points at this stage of the season. The Cottagers have a sensational attacking line up, which could contend with and bettered only by the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City. 

Marco Silva is an architect of winning games. Forest showed that they can go to Anfield and extract maximum points, and Fulham will harbour a similar mindset. Passes in the final third and shots on goal need to improve, for Fulham to gain a better standing in the Premier League and a foothold among the elites. 

Player to watch out for

Raul Jimenez is a prolific striker with the best minutes-per-goal ratio. The Mexican seems to find the net every 192 minutes. He has now scored 12 goals in his last 21 Premier League starts for the Cottagers. His versatility, movement and eye for goal puts him up there as one of the Premier League’s most potent strikers. 

Injury - Andersen and Reed are both out injured. 

Fulham Probable 11 - Leno (GK), Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson (DEF), Berge, Lukic, Smith-Rowe, Traore, Iwobi (MID), Jimenez (FWD). 

LIVERPOOL FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

Liverpool's consistent approach and Fulham's recent form make their upcoming match an intriguing clash. While Liverpool's home advantage and strong defense favor them, Fulham's attacking prowess, led by Jimenez, could pose a challenge. However, considering Liverpool's form and experience, they are likely to emerge victorious.
