Fulham vs Liverpool-It’s been a tough week to be a Liverpool supporter. For starters, they were shut out by a 1-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace, which, barring a miracle, dashed their EPL title hopes. They exited the Europa League in midweek, a competition they were among the favorites to win.
If there’s any motivation for Liverpool this week, it’s the fact that Man City are inactive and without three points will ultimately end their season as they know it.

EPL Predictions for Fulham vs Liverpool
Can you imagine a scenario where Liverpool win their remaining six matches (four of them on the road) and wrestle the EPL crown away from Manchester City?
I, for one, can’t, but it would be pretty incredible to watch, and if the Reds have any idea of pulling off a miracle, it will have to start early vs. Fulham.
Please think. Liverpool pulled the carpet out from under them on two fronts last week. Now they must travel to the capital to face a Fulham side stuck in mid-table and just outside of a top-half finish to play for.
If I know Jurgen Klopp, he will prepare his team from the opening kick-off and let them play a fast and attacking style of football.
As for Fulham, they have been much better at home than on the road, almost doubling their points total, and the goals are flooding in for their fixtures. There have been at least three goals in nine of the last 11 matches in all competitions.
With both teams scoring in eight of the last nine meetings at Craven Cottage, I expect the fireworks to start in the opening 45.
Fulham team news
Fulham vs Liverpool-Absolutely no injury or suspension concerns to report for the any home side. Every time Jurgen Klopp can expect to come up against a full-strength Fulham side every time.
Liverpool team news
Needless to say, Jurgen Klopp will field a strong side in this match as there is no room for slippage in this tightly contested title race. Especially not after last weekend.
Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Ben Dwoak will not play in this match but this is expected as they are long-term absentees.
Fulham vs Liverpool Same-Game Parley (SGP)
Since the first-half goals market isn’t available, we have no problem pivoting to over 3.5 goals, as both teams have found the back of the net in eight of the nine H2Hs. I’m not expecting a 1-1 draw here.
I expect a free-flowing game with plenty of chances and I expect Liverpool to dominate proceedings early and find the net to ease some of the tension.

Fulham vs Liverpool side and over/under analysis
After opening at -175, Liverpool got some money. They now sit around -180 depending on the book, and should be around -200 when the lineup is announced an hour before kick-off.
Fulham got full marks at home (28) with double the amount of points at Craven Cottage compared to their away trip (14). They haven’t beaten Liverpool at home since 2011, so that should inspire a good performance.
Both teams are overs teams, having bowled up to 42 overs in 66 games.
8 of the last 9 head-to-heads at Craven Cottage have seen both teams score.
