Liverpools players have said what they have in the game with
Besiktas. The most convincing win in the history of the Champions
League! Gerrard and his playmates transferred their anger because
of the bad results and they practically hammered the poor Besiktas.
The Turks are history now, and Liverpool must now repeat the game
against Fulham in order to come near the top where they are pretty
behind the Arsenal and Manchester United.
They showed that they can play good even without the injured
Torres, Alonso, Agger and Pennant, but we should not make some
conclusions about Liverpool just from the game in Tuesday. Still,
it was the game where everything worked for them and in which
Voronin played like Zidan in his best days. The reality is somewhat
different, so Liverpool, which got only 1 win in 5 home games in
the Premier League, will have a tough time in getting all three
points against Fulham. Apart from the injured players, Liverpool
have no bigger squad problems, so we should expect that Benitez
wont change the team that played marvelously in Tuesday.
Fulham are specialists for drawn games. For the second season in a
row, their games are mostly ended drawn and it is certain that the
Cottagers have the same exactly that in mind for this game. Anfield
is not the place where you can go for the win and Sanchez certainly
knows it, so we should expect a closed tactics with the possibility
of counterattacks in order to score a goal. Fulham did it on their
three last away games, since they returned home unbeaten, against
Sunderland, Chelsea and Wigan. Fulhams problem is the big number
of injured players so it is the question if they can do anything
against the furious Liverpool.
Elliot, Cristanval, Cook, McBride, Volz, Pearce and Bullard are on
the injury list. Fulham dont have a big number of quality players
and this is a big blow for the team.
We think that Liverpools win is out of any doubt. Their
self-confidence must bring the results this Saturday, so we expect
that Fulham will leave the Anfield with their hads down. The odds
for Liverpool to win are 1.33 (Ladbrokes) and it could be used. We
recommend that you try on Liverpool win on 1.5 asian handicap at
the odds of 1.83 (Pinnacle). Liverpool are much more quality team
than Fulham which would have a difficult job in parrying the
Reds.
OUR TIP: Liverpool win with 1.5 asian handicap
