Fulham come into this game on the back of a disastrous run of games, which has seen them take only 2 points from 18 and have only taken 1 point from their last 3 home games. Liverpool, on the other hand are wobbling slightly, having been knocked out of the Champions league they could only manage a 0-0 draw against resurgent Sunderland at Anfield. Liverpool have the joint best away record in the league, having won 4 games out of 6 already.

While Liverpool confidence is rocking, Fulham are faring no better and I can see Liverpool coming away with an away win. Defensively, they have only conceded 5 goals away in total, and have the best defensive records in the league, having conceded only 10 in total. They should be able to cope with Fulhams attack, with striker Steve Marlet sent off last week. He is their top scorer with a measly 3 goals. Fulham have only scored 9 goals at home this season and Sami Hyppia, and recalled Marcus Babbel make scoring extremely difficult. Michael Owen has already scored 8 premiership goals this season, and after announcing that his girlfriend is pregnant, I can see him getting on the scoresheet. Last weeks draw should only be a blip and Liverpool should win this won. High stake.
