Liverpool vs Fulham Bettting Tips
Liverpool
Until the previous day, the red ones shared with the Manchester City the leadership of the dispute. However, when they drew 1-1 at home against Arsenal in London, they saw the Blues stand alone at the top of the Premier League. With 27 points (eight wins and three draws) they ended up winning the company of Chelsea, although they appear in the third place when the tie-break criteria are taken into account.
It was not, however, the most disappointing recent result. The most shocking stumble happened on Tuesday, November 6. For the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Red Star in Serbia.
Coach Jurgen Klopp seems to have calculated the risk offered by the rival. He decided to spare some of his starters and saw the Serbs open up two-goal lead in the first half. When he sought the reaction, he could not break through the defense of the owners of the house.
The result left Group C stunned. Liverpool lead with Napoli with six points. However, Paris Saint-Germain, with five, and Red Star, with four, are also in contention for the two vacancies that lead to the UCL Uefa Champions League. This makes the reds no longer have room for slips in the clashes against PSG (outside) and Napoli (home) scheduled for the remaining matches.
Sunday’s game seemed to be the most appropriate for the cast’s most intense relay. However, the stumble on Tuesday may cause Klopp to decide not to take any more risks. However, he is able to preserve athletes if he wishes. Only two players are in the medical department and should not be released to act: defender Nathaniel Clyne and midfielder Jordan Henderson.

Fulham
The defeat was the result of the last six matches played by Fulham. In half of this seriousness one can not say that there was any surprise. For a team that makes its return to the elite division of English football, fall to Everton, Arsenal and Manchester City – in a duel for the FA Cup – is absolutely within normalcy.The red light comes on when the sequence of failures includes Cardiff, Bournemouth and Huddersfield, who are direct rivals in the battle against relegation to the Championship, the Second Division of the English Premier League.
When this happens, the final balance is the bottom of the leaderboard. That’s where Fulham went. With five points (one win, two draws and eight losses), he is in the twentieth Premier League position. After all, it was the only team that failed to score in the last five rounds.
The only positive aspect in this sea of negative numbers is that the closest rivals, although they have achieved a little better performance, were not much superior. Newcastle, seventeenth and first out of the relegation zone, without just an extra point.
However, before looking at opponents, coach Slavisa Jokanovic has to look at his own faults. The biggest of all is the immense defensive fragility. Fulham have the most leaked defense of the English Premier League. There were 29 goals conceded in 11 matches.
To face Liverpool, the coach will probably not be able to rely on defender Joe Bryan (four matches in the 2018/2019 English League season without a goal) and midfielder Kevin McDonald (nine games, no goal), which are in the process of recovery of injury.
