The last time Fulham played at home, they lost to a Merseyside club, Everton, and as they head to Match Day 12, their hope will be to avoid losing to another Merseyside club – Liverpool, at home. Ahead of these two sides’ 47th meeting, Fulham are 17th in the standings with seven points and Liverpool joint top with 24. Fulham’s return to the Premier League hasn’t been rosy but in their recent matches they’ve shown they have what it takes to stay up. They have had a tough run of matches, and by the time they finish with Liverpool, they’d have played five sides in the top 10 in five matches. Heading to this clash they have lost to West Ham United, Everton and Manchester City then beat Leicester City in their last four matches. It is a tough run and honestly, taking even a point from this weekend’s game will be a big win for Fulham. They have kept one clean sheet in the last five matches and failed to score in two. In their last match ahead of this, they suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester City as their bid to register back to back league wins crashed. With four losses in their five home matches this season, Fulham will badly want to start winning at Craven Cottage, with fans starting to come back. To be able to do that, they have to reduce the number of goals conceded at home – they have conceded two or more in four of the five, totaling 11 so far. Meanwhile, they have scored five goals in the five home matches, all these coming in the last three home games. The high scoring nature of their home matches has seen four of their five home league games produce over 2.5 goals and having last beaten Liverpool in 2012, they will hope the tide switches this time.

Liverpool on the other hand, will be going to west London seeking a seventh straight win over Fulham. They are coming from a draw in a Champions League game in Denmark and in their last league game they whacked Wolves 4-0. That huge win is the only time in the last five matches that Liverpool have been able to score more than one goal, while they have failed to score completely in one of their last five matches. They head here with two clean sheets in the last five matches but are unbeaten in their last seven league matches. The last time Liverpool lost was the 7-2 mauling away to Aston Villa. In the Premier League, they have registered just two clean sheets in their last nine matches and conceded two or more in just two of their last 10. It is away from home in the league that the Reds need much improvement, as they head here without a win in their last four away matches in the league, and having also conceded in all these. They have won just one of their five away matches this season, the 2-0 victory over Chelsea in September, and after beating Fulham in all the previous six meetings, they will hope for another win here.
