Liverpool were Premier League title favourites before travelling to Old Trafford although they dropped two points in that encounter and were then defeated 1-0 at home to Crystal Palace. In between came a 3-0 Europa League defeat at home to Atalanta and they will have played in a trip to Italy before coming into this encounter.
It’s therefore a surprise to find that Jurgen Klopp’s side are trading as strong favourites for this trip to Craven Cottage. We weren’t sure which team would be favourites before checking the odds and there’s no reason why Liverpool should be trading at such a short price, especially given the quality of the opposition.
Fulham have no European distractions and it showed as they claimed a 2-0 win away to West Ham, with Marco Silva’s side certainly capable of recording a victory. The London side have recorded nine wins in front of their own fans and will feel as though they are playing this match at exactly the right time.
It was last month that Fulham recorded a 3-0 victory against Tottenham, with the recent 2-0 win at the London Stadium seeing the Cottagers register ten shots on target as part of their victory. Andreas Pereira was at the double for a team who previously dominated possession against Newcastle despite losing 1-0 to the Magpies.
