Liverpool will look to tighten their grip on top spot in the Premier League by landing another three points against Fulham at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s side head into the weekend four points in front of Chelsea, having played a game fewer than the Blues after last week’s Merseyside derby was postponed.
The Reds returned to action in the Champions League in midweek by successfully grinding out a 1-0 win away from home against Girona.
Back at their Anfield headquarters this weekend, Liverpool will be targeting a sixth Premier League success on the trot when Fulham come to town.
Marco Silva’s men continue to ruffle feathers in the top-flight this term, most recently holding Arsenal to a 1-1 draw, bringing up one of my bets along the way.
That stalemate has the Cottagers housed inside the top-half of the table and they certainly won’t be fazed by the task in hand this weekend.
How the bookies view it: Reds juggernaut to roll on
Liverpool are red hot 3/10 favourites on Boylesports to put Fulham to the sword at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Despite losing just one of their last six Premier League matches, Fulham make the trip to Merseyside as massive 15/2 underdogs on Boylesports, while the draw is an unfancied 4/1 with the same firm.
Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool have favoured well in this fixture in recent years, triumphing in four of the last five meetings between the pair across all competitions.
Last season’s corresponding fixture saw the Reds come out on top in a 4-3 thriller.
Players to watch: Salah to put on a show?
Mohamed Salah is tied with Erling Haaland at the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts after bagging a brace against Newcastle last midweek. That means the Liverpool talisman has now scored in each of his last seven top-flight outings, making him an appealing option to strike again this weekend at 5/6 on Boylesports.
Raul Jimenez snapped a six-game scoring drought in the Premier League by striking against Arsenal last Sunday. The Fulham forward is 10/3 on Boylesports to repeat the trick this weekend.
Predicted line-ups
Liverpool will be without the suspended Alexis Mac Allister on Saturday, however Diogo Jota looks set to come back into the squad following a spell on the sidelines.
Calvin Bassey will have to sit this one out after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend. The Fulham defender joins Tom Cairney on the naughty step, who is serving the final game of a three-match ban.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Cuenca, Diop, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Adama; Jimenez
Anything else catch the eye?
Andy Robertson stands out to commit a minimum of one foul on Saturday afternoon at 5/6 (PaddyPower).
The Liverpool left-back has fallen foul of the referee in two of his last three Premier League outings.
Given that Robertson could find himself up against the likes of Alex Iwobi and Adama Traore at Anfield this weekend, another misdemeanour from him here merits support at the odds on offer.
