After three consecutive matches of being inhibited, Liverpool has a chance to relieve itself when they meet a team with no goals, Fulham. Despite having to play away, the team has stabilized again, helping The Kop move towards victory.
Comment on the match Fulham vs Liverpool
Liverpool has officially had to say goodbye to the Europa League playground. This is also what everyone expected when Jurgen Klopp and his team had to accept a 0-3 defeat when welcoming Atalanta at Anfield in the first leg. Despite their best efforts in the second leg, Liverpool could only win 1-0 on their opponent’s field and sadly left the European arena.
After consecutive shocks in April, Liverpool now only has the Premier League left to fight. Earlier this month, The Kop was eliminated from the FA Cup by Man United.
Liverpool only has the Premier League front to hope for |
Liverpool is actually at a disadvantage in the Premier League race because of an unexpected result last weekend. Playing at Anfield’s home stadium again, Liverpool surprisingly let Crystal Palace win 1-0. Liverpool players launched a total of 21 shots at the opponent’s goal but did not score a single goal.
That defeat caused Liverpool to drop to third place in the Premier League rankings. The distance to the top of Man City is 2 points while Liverpool is still inferior in terms of difference. It’s even more disadvantageous when Liverpool is still ranked below Arsenal. These two teams have equal points, but Arsenal has 8 points more. Obviously, to hope to win the Premier League this season, Liverpool must win all 6 remaining matches.
One advantage for Liverpool is that their pillars are ready to return. The quartet of Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate and Alexander-Arnold can absolutely start in the next match. In attack, Nunez and Salah will also start while trump card Diogo Jota is also likely to appear from the bench. In the middle, Szoboszlai and Mac Allister can manage well.
Liverpool can also be confident with their away form at the present time. They only lost 1 of the last 11 away matches, winning 6 and drawing 4 matches. Liverpool is the league’s 2nd best away defense team, and also has the 4th best scoring attack in the Premier League away from home.
The opportunity for Liverpool to get points in the next match is also very favorable when Fulham no longer has a goal to fight for. Currently, this team is ranked 12th on the rankings with 42 points. They are 8 points behind the European Cup group. But Fulham also surpassed the 40-point mark to successfully stay relegated. Marco Silva and his team now only take advantage of the remaining 5 matches to review their forces or make tests.
Fulham has run out of goals this season |
In the previous round, Fulham defeated a tired West Ham 2-0 thanks to Andreas Pereira’s double. That was the match that ended Fulham’s 3 winless matches in the Premier League. But of course, the scores now don’t mean much to the London team.
Fulham players still give their all when playing at Craven Cottage’s home field to please the audience. They have won 7 of their last 11 home matches in the Premier League and this is a point that Liverpool needs to watch out for. Fulham’s home record this season is actually ranked 7th in the Premier League, truly formidable.
In terms of confrontation, of course Liverpool is completely superior. The difference is clearly shown when Fulham only won 1 of the last 11 meetings with Liverpool in the Premier League, losing 8 of them. It wouldn’t be too surprising if Marco Silva and his team had to accept defeat against Liverpool in this round.
According to today’s football schedule, the match between Fulham vs Liverpool will take place at 10:30 p.m. on April 21.
Special commentary Fulham vs Liverpool
