Liverpool finally achieved first victory under the management of Kenny Dalglish, and will now face their ex-manager’s team from last season Fulham.
After the victory against Wolverhampton with 3:0, Liverpool takes the 11th spot with 29 points in 23 games, home record of W6 D3 L2, scoring 19 goals in those games and conceding 12. In the last 7 games here, Liverpool has only 1 loss and 1 draw and has achieved 5 victories. In three of those games the team has achieved a clean sheet.
Fulham are not very far from their opponent,taking the 14th spot with 26 points in 23 games, away record of W1 D6 L4, scoring 9 and conceding 11 goals in those games.
The team achieved their first away victory not too long ago, against Stoke City on December 28th, with the score of 0:2. Since then Fulham has had two away games, a London derby against Tottenham lost with 0:1 and a draw against Wigan.

In the direct games between both teams, things don’t look good at all for Fulham. Their record on Anfield for the past 10 years reads W0 D4 L5, scoring only 2 goals in 9 games and conceding 16. The last two game here, in 2010 and 2008 have ended 0:0.
A third 0:0, or even a draw has very good odds in bet365, the draw priced at 3.80, while the 0:0 is priced at 10.00.
Six of the nine games between both teams have ended Under 2.5 Goals, a bet with odds of 1.80 for this game.
Liverpool is appointed for a favorite here, although I can’t really put my finger on them. The team has been really inconsistent lately and it’s hard to make a judgment from 1 away victory if they took on a different path. I will go for the home victory, not so much because Liverpool has gained my trust, but because Fulham is doing not so well away. Cottagers has won only 1 game in the last 29 away Premier League games. In 12 of the last 20 games, they have failed to even score a goal. While the odds for a straight home victory are a bit low 1.53, you can always place an Asian Handicap.
