Matchday 14 in the English Premier League sees third-place Liverpool hosting 14th-placed Fulham at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds are right in the thick of the title race as they trail second-place Man City by one and leaders Arsenal by two points. Liverpool are coming off a dominant 4-0 home win over LASK in the Europa League on Thursday. The victory sealed the top spot in the group for Klopp’s side who will progress automatically to the round of 16. It was also a return to winning ways for Liverpool who drew 1-1 away with Manchester City in the team’s last league outing. The hosts will be looking to extend their faultless record at Anfield as their most recent win moves their home record to 10-0-0 on the season across all competitions. In those 10 matches the Reds have scored 31 goals while conceding just four for a +27 goal differential. 

Fulham pulled off a dramatic victory against Wolves last weekend, grabbing a 3-2 victory thanks to a stoppage time penalty converted by Willian. The win snapped a two-game losing slide for the Cottagers who have now moved up to 14th in the standings with four wins, three draws and six defeats. An unlikely win for Marco Silva’s men on Sunday could potentially see them break into the top half depending on other results. However, Fulham are heavy underdogs to do so in part down to their away form. Fulham have failed to win an away league match since their opening day victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Additionally, they’ve looked extremely vulnerable on the defensive side of the ball which is not a good sign ahead of a trip to Anfield. Fulham have now conceded in their last nine straight matches across all competitions including five total in their last two outings.
