Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction

Fulham sit 17th in the league table, but have found some form in recent weeks. They have won two of their last five games, with players like Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa having impressed in the midfield for their side.

Liverpool, on the other hand, sit second in the league table, behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur on goal difference. They may be missing key defensive personnel, but Jurgen Klopp seems to have found a way to utilize youngsters and Fabinho to form a solid backline.

Liverpool will be the favorites to win the game.

Prediction: Fulham 0-3 Liverpool
