Fulham look to boost their hopes of European qualification in a tricky home match against title-chasing Liverpool.
Victory would lift Fulham up to eighth in the table, whilst Liverpool can move 14 points clear of Arsenal at the summit with a win.

Stat Attack
- Fulham are winless in their last five league meetings against Liverpool (D2, L3).
- Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six league trips to Fulham (W4, D2).
- Diogo Jota has scored in each of Liverpool’s last two matches against Fulham in all competitions.
- Antonee Robinson has made more headed clearances than any other Fulham player this season in the top-flight (62).
- Liverpool have earned 13 out of 15 possible points in four trips to London-based opposition this season (W4, D1).
Prediction
Fulham’s wasteful end product has been their Achilles heel in their last two matches in all competitions which worries me coming into this game because they simply need to be clinical, otherwise this could be a long afternoon for the home fans if they don’t convert their chances and ideally score first.
Liverpool meanwhile have no distractions in the remainder of this run-in so I expect them to try and target an unbeaten run until end of season now, whilst their strong away form in London this campaign will provide extra belief if they can be more clinical than they were against Everton in the Merseyside derby.
As much as I would like to see Fulham take the fight to Liverpool, I just can’t see the Reds losing this such is their better quality and form against a team who just can’t take their chances well enough.
Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Liverpool
