Match Preview: Fulham v Liverpool

For this BPL gameweek 14, the Cottagers will host the Reds. This Monday game will start on 8 pm London time. For Malaysian, you can watch through Stadium Astro, Channel 812 from 0355 to 0600. After watching the match, you can prepare to go for work..hehehe.

Last BPL’s meeting at Craven Cottage on 9^th May, the results favored Liverpool with 5-2 win where Maxi scored the hat-trick.

Fulham currently sit at the 15^th position in the league. Although they usually do well in BPL because of their home form, they only managed 1 win from 6 home games so far. The last draw was 1-1 against Arsenal. Just like Stoke City, they proved it is not easy to play European game at midweek and BPL game at weekend.

The Reds currently unbeaten in 9 BPL games so far. However, the absent of Lucas Leiva could prove crucial. Jonjo Shelvy had been recalled from his loan spell at Blackpool to provide cover. Most likely Jay Spearing will start in Lucas’ position.

The key battle in this match would be between Liverpool attacker and Fulham’s defender.

Possible Line Up

Fulham: Schwarzer, Gygera, Baird, Hangeland, Riise, Dempsey, Murphy, Dembele, Sidwell, Zamora, Johnson

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Kuyt, Spearing, Adam, Downing, Bellamy, Suarez

Mr I Prediction

Fulham 1 – 2 Liverpool; Dempsey for Fulham, Adam & Bellamy for Liverpool

Liverpool actually played their best football away from home this season as they managed to grab 4 wins out of 6 outings. This match could prove to be a physical with a lot of tackles and body contacts.
