Liverpool v Fulham Preview

Liverpool’s Form

Liverpool come into this match in excellent form. They are unbeaten in their last 6 games in all competitions. Last Sunday they defeated Arsenal 0-2 in the FA Cup 3rd Round following a Kiwior own goal in the 80th minute and a late Diaz goal in the 95th minute. This was a remarkable result after Arsenal had 54% of possession and an expected goals tally of 1.61 to Liverpool’s 0.67 xG.

Following last season’s relatively poor results on the field and lack of trophies, the Reds are back to fighting on all fronts this year. They currently top the Premier League table, and are into the FA Cup 4th Round and the knockout stages of the Europa League. Could a quadruple be on the cards this season?

It’ll be interesting to see how Liverpool choose to rotate from their victory against Arsenal at the weekend. But Irish supporters, if tuning in, can look forward to Corkman Caoimhin Kelleher starting in net on Wednesday.

Fulham’s Form

Fulham are also in strong form. They have won their last two games in all competitions, 2-1 against Arsenal in the Premier League and 1-0 against Rotherham in the FA Cup 3rd Round. That victory gives them a record of 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw in their last 5 games in all competitions, albeit that draw finished 1-1 against Everton in the previous round which they advanced from 6-7 on penalties to book their place in this game.

Many people might forget that this is a Fulham side that many predicted could be in relegation trouble following the loss of Aleksandar Mitrović to the Saudi League. However, Marcos Silva thus far this season has brought them to 13th in the league, a spot in this EFL Cup Semi-final along with a place in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.

Liverpool are a far better side on paper, but in a two-legged tie with a bit of luck, they may cause a shock here.

Key Players To Watch

Caoimhin Kelleher – Liverpool

The Corkman and Irish International doesn’t get too many opportunities to showcase his goalkeeping talents due to being behind Alisson Becker in the pecking order. However, Klopp regularly gives him the start in the EFL Cup which gives him a chance to make an impression.

Whether Caoimhin Kelleher needs to move on sooner rather than later for the sake of his career is another argument that will probably come to a head next summer. But for now, it would be great for Kelleher personally and for Irish supporters, if he can perform well on Wednesday.

Antonee Robinson – Fulham

The Fulham left-back on his day is one of the best in his position in England and he will be tasked with stopping the electric combination of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah along the Liverpool right-hand side.

The last time these teams played Robinson had a solid game in a 4-3 defeat. He finished the game with 1 assist, 4 clearances, 13 interceptions and 13 recoveries.

Liverpool v Fulham Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Fulham

Liverpool are in great form at the moment, and it’s very difficult to see them do anything here but win, in what would be another step towards a trophy.

Fulham on the other hand come into this match not expecting to get anything and that in itself could provide them with a free hit in this two-legged tie.

Expect Liverpool to make home advantage count, but I don’t think it will be a demolition victory by any stretch.

Best Bet: Liverpool Win + Under 2.5 Goals @ 10/3
