In the Premier League, Liverpool suddenly stumbled when they lost 0-1 to Crystal Palace at Anfield in round 33. The Kop were left behind in the championship race. Going into the match, no Liverpool fan believed in a defeat or even a draw because coach Jurgen Klopp fielded the strongest squad. They continuously finished ineffectively and paid a high price when they conceded a goal after a basic counterattack by the “Eagle” Crystal Palace.
Currently, Liverpool is ranked 3rd on the rankings with 71 points, 3 points behind Arsenal and 2 points behind Man City. Playing away at Fulham’s Craven Cottage is a very good opportunity for Liverpool to win 3 points to level the score with Arsenal and regain the confidence of the fans.
Although Liverpool is rated higher, they are not allowed to be subjective against Fulham. Coach Marco Silva’s team has a safe relegation ticket. Fulham’s spirit is high, plus the home field will be a huge challenge for coach Jurgen Klopp and his students. Currently, coach Marco Silva’s team has 42 points, ranking 12th on the Premier League rankings .
It is also important to emphasize that, at Craven Cottage, Fulham once defeated teams in the top half of the rankings such as MU, West Ham, and Tottenham. Although they lost form at the end of the season, in general Fulham is still an unpleasant opponent for the big guys. After a 0-1 loss to Newcastle, Fulham also regained the joy of winning against West Ham with a score of 2-0.
In terms of head-to-head performance, Liverpool is overwhelming Fulham. If you only count the last 5 matches, The Kop is undefeated with 3 wins and 2 draws. In the first leg, Liverpool won dramatically with a score of 4-3 at home at Anfield.
Force information, welcoming Liverpool at home at Craven Cottage, Fulham has the strongest squad, while Liverpool is missing many pillars such as Thiago, Bradley, and Matip due to injury.
Although they are having performance problems, Liverpool still has a chance to compete for the championship with Arsenal and Man City. To hold on to this hope, The Kop’s mandatory task is to win against Fulham. The match between Fulham and Liverpool will take place at 9:30 p.m., April 21.
