Premier League 2023-24 Gameweek 14 is set to be underway

In-form Liverpool are set to host one of the underperformers of the season, Fulham. Their Premier League clash is set to take place on Sunday at Anfield.

As Liverpool are challenging for the title this season, they cannot afford any slip-ups. The last game against Manchester City was saved by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s strike that helped the Reds to a draw. But Jurgen Klopp‘s men are riling up well, they will host Fulham after a 4-0 route in the UEFA Europa League against LASK.

On the other hand, Marco Silva‘s men were expected to carry forward from their last season’s strong 10th finish. But Fulham have tumbled earlier on with losses in abundance. However, they will be heading to Anfield with a last-minute winner against Wolves that ended in an emphatic 3-2.

Players to watch for

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

The Egyptian King is unleashed this season. When all thought his peak is gone, his numbers this season say otherwise. Mohamed Salah has 18 G/A in 19 matches this season for Liverpool across all competitions, 15 of which are in just 13 Premier League games.

Bobby Reid (Fulham)

Bobby Reid, the Jamaican has two goals in 11 matches and is just behind Willian in Fulham’s goal-scoring tally for this season. He is a versatile player and can play on both the flanks. He can also play as a false 9 player or have an impact as a midfielder. Reid’s contributions have helped the Cottagers remain out of the drop zone.

Match facts

Liverpool have lost just once against Fulham in the last 10 games (W7 D2 L1)

Match prediction for Liverpool vs Fulham

With the form Liverpool are in, they are looking undefeatable. Even the defending champions, Manchester City had a hard time getting all three points against them. While Fulham did win in the last game, it is not a given that they come to Anfield and do the same against Liverpool. So, we predict a big win for the home side.

Prediction: Liverpool 3 – 1 Fulham
