Alarm bells are beginning to ring at Anfield as Liverpool prepare to face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
Arne Slot’s side have suffered defeat in each of their last three matches across all competitions, the most recent being a 2-0 loss to PSG that brought both of my selections in.
The Reds now return to Premier League action, where they are currently enduring a three-match winless run, picking up just one point in the process.
As a result, Liverpool are starting to look over their shoulder as the race for Champions League qualification heats up.
One of the sides eager to capitalise is Fulham, who arrive at Anfield on the back of a 3-1 victory over Burnley.
Moreover, Marco Silva’s side head to Merseyside aware that a victory would cut the deficit on Liverpool to just two points.
How the bookies view it: Reds to return to winning ways
The pre-match odds point to Liverpool returning to winning ways on Saturday evening, with a home success as short as 13/20 on bet365.
As for Fulham, they are 15/4 underdogs on bet365, while the draw is also considered unlikely at 16/5 with the same firm.
Head-to-head: Reds rule the roost
Across all competitions, Liverpool have historically dominated this fixture, winning 45 of their 80 encounters, compared to Fulham’s 14 victories and 21 draws. This season's reverse fixture ended 2-2, and the same scoreline on Saturday evening pays 14/1 on bet365
Players to watch: Dom to deliver?
Dominik Szoboszlai has arguably been Liverpool’s standout performer this season, and the classy Hungarian playmaker holds plenty of appeal to hit the target at least once here at 4/5 on UniBet.
Elsewhere in the shots on-target market, Harry Wilson catches the eye to test the goalkeeper at least once at a value even-money on bet365.
Predicted line-ups
As was the case in midweek, Liverpool will again be without Alisson, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo due to injury.
Meanwhile, Fulham are sweating on the fitness of defensive duo Calvin Bassey and Kenny Tete, while Brazilian forward Kevin will definitely miss out for the visitors.
Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, King, Bobb; Jimenez
Anything else catches the eye?
Fulham's Raul Jimenez looks well worthy of support to commit two or more fouls during this contest at 6/5 on bet365.
The Mexican forward likes to throw his weight around, underlined by the fact that he's committing an average of 1.86 fouls per game in the Premier League this season.
It's also worth noting that Jimenez has been penalised twice or more in five of his last 10 top-flight appearances away from Craven Cottage.
