Fulham vs Liverpool. Shape of the Teams

Fulham’s current season is not living up to the promise of the last, though it is tough to pinpoint what is going wrong. 

But what’s for sure is that head coach Marco Silva should change things up a little. His side is fourteenth in the Premier League, with a disappointing record of just one win in their last five Premier League games —far from a flattering score. 

The team’s 2-1 New Year’s Eve victory against Arsenal stands out as a rare highlight in an otherwise challenging period. Yet, this isolated success isn’t sufficient to mask the broader issues facing the team.

A key factor for Fulham has been the presence of defensive midfielder Palhinha, who was a target for Bayern Munich in the summer before the move fell through. His continued presence in the team, especially given the lack of further interest in the winter window, is fortunate for Fulham.

Even in Mohamed Salah’s absence, who’s on duty with Egypt in the AFCON, Liverpool has continued its winning streak in recent weeks. It already met Fulham in the first leg of this EFL Cup clash, which resulted in a 2-1 victory for the Reds at Anfield. 

Jürgen Klopp’s side seems to be doing fine as it thrashed Bournemouth in a typical Liverpool way (4-0). While the scoreline suggests a dominant performance, Ibrahima Konaté’s defensive solidity and impact in the opposition’s box played a pivotal role in deciding the game.

Liverpool’s ability to find different ways to win, even in challenging situations, is a significant aspect of their strength as a team.

One ongoing concern, however, is the underwhelming form of Darwin Núñez. Since his arrival at Liverpool, unlocking his full potential has been a focal point, but he has yet to deliver on the expectations consistently.

Fulham vs Liverpool Hotspur, Prediction, Odds

The memory of the thrilling 4-3 game a few months ago between Liverpool and Fulham is still vivid, but with Konaté back in form and making a name for himself as one of the world’s best centre-backs, it becomes increasingly difficult to see Fulham breaking through, especially given the lower stakes of the EFL Cup. 

For Fulham, priorities might differ, given their position in the Premier League and the importance of ensuring top-flight survival. Currently sitting in 14th place, it is better not to take any risks. 

Fulham also has the FA Cup in mind, where they will meet Newcastle in the next match. Head coach Marco Silva faces the strategic dilemma of balancing squad rotation and competition focus.

While it is true that a one-goal deficit, with now a home advantage, does not seem too much to handle, it also means trying to play attacking football against Liverpool, which usually backfires. 

Curtis Jones has been steadily growing as a formidable presence in Liverpool’s midfield.  He’s one of the names that have always been around as a promising young talent. 

However, his recent performances show a trend of reliable improvement, which serves Liverpool well. This is particularly crucial given the team’s shortage of midfielders, exacerbated by Thiago’s recurring injuries.

Jones’s scoring contribution against Fulham in their first tie exemplifies his growing influence on the team, and he is anticipated to be in the starting lineup for the next match.

Liverpool’s offensive strategy is expected to pose challenges for Fulham, who have struggled to keep a clean sheet in the first month of 2024.

Fulham vs Liverpool Betting Tip

In Mohamed Salah’s absence, Portuguese striker Diogo Jota has stepped up impressively for Liverpool, particularly highlighted by his standout performance against Bournemouth, where he contributed two goals and an assist.  

Jota is fulfilling Liverpool’s expectations, emerging not just as a leader on the pitch but also as a consistently high performer. He embodies the energetic style that Jürgen Klopp demands from his lads.

Jota’s physicality is important in his playing style, making it hard for defenders to predict his movements. His ability to think a step ahead of his opponents, especially in evading tackles, is a testament to his football intelligence and agility.

Currently, Jota stands out as one of the most in-form strikers in the Premier League. Given his recent performances and Fulham’s current struggles, particularly in defence, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Jota add to his tally in the upcoming match against Fulham.
