Storylines
It’s been a tough few weeks for Liverpool and although they were knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday, they picked up their first win in their last four after beating Atalanta 1-0. It also marked their first clean sheet in 11 games, which could also provide positive momentum as they eye their first Premier League win since a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United on April 4.
As is often the case, Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool’s most productive attacking player in recent weeks with two goals in the last five games, but Jurgen Klopp has been able to call on a handful of goalscorers in this period. With only Premier League games remaining, he could rely on his first-choice team to complete his time as Liverpool manager. Regardless of their team selection, however, Liverpool will need to improve on their wasteful tendencies in front of goal which have cost them dearly in recent weeks.
Prediction
Fulham has caused problems for Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United in recent weeks, but this match is Liverpool’s to lose. If there are no more distractions, they might be able to get all three points out of this – just don’t expect it to be easy. Choose: Fulham 0, Liverpool 1
