Premier League leaders, Liverpool, return to league action for the first time in 10 days when they face Fulham in a potentially tricky encounter for the Reds at Anfield on Saturday.
Expert Tip
Liverpool scored just a goal in their last match at Girona in the Champions League on Tuesday, marking the first time in nine matches that the Reds have failed to score two goals or more in a match.
Fulham on their part have conceded no more than one goal in six of their last seven matches in the Premier League. Indeed, it was in their only loss in that run (1-4 to Wolves) that Marco Silva’s side conceded more than a goal in a match.
While it is a given for Fulham to concede; they’ve kept only two cleansheets in 15 league matches, the Londoners have held their own against tough opponents and will fancy nicking a result at Merseyside. The two cleansheets have also come in their travels.
That’s why we’re putting our money on Liverpool win or draw.
