Liverpool v Fulham predictions

Liverpool have won four matches in succession for the first time this season and their strong finish to the campaign can continue with a victory over Fulham at Anfield.

Champions League qualification appears to be beyond Liverpool, who are seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United and have played one game more.

However, Jurgen Klopp's side are up to fifth, which is as high as they have been all season, and their remaining games are against teams beneath them.

The Reds have a few defensive issues to address after Sunday's 4-3 victory over Tottenham but they should find it much easier to contain the Cottagers, who head to Liverpool without influential attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira and top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Fulham are playing with plenty of energy and intent and were far from disgraced in Sunday's 2-1 loss at home to Manchester City. But they have tasted defeat in seven of their last nine games and are likely to struggle on Merseyside.
