Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Liverpool bid to make it five successive wins in the Premier League. They are up to fifth in the table and host Fulham who are tenth in the league. The Reds may be in form but it's looking like the Europa League for them next season. After their 4-3 home win over Tottenham on Sunday, they still trail fourth placed Manchester United by seven points and have played a game more than their rivals. Making up that gap with just five games to play looks beyond Jurgen Klopp's men. Liverpool are in good form though and scoring lots of goals with 15 in their last four matches. They have however conceded 13 in their last seven Premier League games and that's why they are not in the top four. Home form is impressive with 11 out of 16 league fixtures won with only Leeds United beating them. Five of the last six home league games at Anfield have been won, the other a 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Fulham will be highly satisfied with their Premier League season. The promoted side have never been in relegation trouble and spent most of the season hoping to qualify for European competition. That's not going to be the case though as they trail seventh place by nine points with a game in hand. A top ten finish would be great though and they are five points ahead of 11th placed Crystal Palace with a game in hand. It's been difficult for them in recent weeks though, especially with Mitrovic being suspended. Seven of their last nine Premier League games have been lost so it's a good job they had a lot of points in the bank. Away form has seen the Cottagers win six but lose eight in the Premier League. Four of the last five have been lost, the other a win at Everton. We don't expect such a good result against their neighbours, back Liverpool to win.

 Our Liverpool v Fulham prediction: Liverpool is the favorite to win the match.
