Liverpool vs Fulham betting preview

Game :- Liverpool vs Fulham

Venue :- Anfield, Liverpool

Saturday, December 18, 2010

Kick off time :- 17.30 Local time.

After two distinctly average performances against Newcastle United and Utrecht, Liverpool will look to raise their game when they face Fulham at home this weekend. Bet on Liverpool vs Fulham with PaddyPower after reading our betting preview.

While Liverpool have not played very poorly, their performances certainly don’t resemble that of a team expected to be challenging for the Champions League. Against Newcastle, the creativity was missing; although things might have ended up differently had Fernando Torres taken a chance that came his way when the scores were tied at 1-1.

Jamie Carragher is still out for Liverpool, but they will have Steven Gerrard back for this game.

Steaua Bucharest 1-1 Liverpool ( Milan Jovanovic)
Tottenham 2-1 Liverpool ( Martin Skrtel)
West Ham 0-3 Liverpool ( Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt, Maxi Rodriguez)

Point:- Liverpool have won their last four games at Anfield.

Fulham are sitting in 17th place in the table. The Cottagers drew another game last weekend- at home against Sunderland- their 10th league draw of the season.

Fact:- Fulham are winless away from home in the Premier League for the last twenty six trips!

Fulham fixtures- last five games- most recent first- Fulham scorers in brackets

Fulham 0-0 Sunderland
Arsenal 2-1 Fulham ( Diomansy Kamara)
Fulham 1-1 Birmingham ( Clint Dempsey)
Fulham 1-4 Man City ( Zoltan Gera)
Newcastle 0-0 Fulham

Verdict :- This is a crucial game for both Mark Hughes and Roy Hodgson as neither managers have been able to take their team to their desired respective league positions.

Liverpool have looked bereft of creativity going forward, but you’ll expect more with Gerrard back. Fulham are reasonably solid at the back- so I’ll go for a draw.

Liverpool 1-1 Fulham ( Torres/ Kamara)
