Fulham may look to play spoilsport and put a spanner in Liverpool’s path as the visitors try to stay in the Premier League title race. Craven Cottage in London is the venue for this intriguing clash on Sunday, as both teams target a win. Fulham are 12th in the standings with 42 points, while the visitors are third with 71 points. Fulham have achieved their initial target of safety and are now likely to target a top-half finish. They are two points behind tenth-placed Brighton and will look to finish the season strong. A 2-0 win over West Ham last time out helped end a three-game winless run for the Cottagers, who can be a dangerous opponent on their day. Especially at this venue, where Fulham have won seven of their last 11 league matches, drawing one and losing three.
Liverpool had to endure the heartbreak of European exit as they crashed out 3-1 on aggregate. That was despite winning 1-0 in the second leg away from home. With no more European distractions, Liverpool are likely to focus on winning the Premier League title, where the top three teams are separated by just two points. Liverpool dropped points in their last two league games, drawing 2-2 against Manchester United and losing 1-0 to Crystal Palace. The draw against United came on the road, where Liverpool have failed to win two of their last four away league games. Crucially for Liverpool, they can’t take Fulham lightly, as they had to battle for a 4-3 win in the reverse fixture.
