Fulham have won one of their last four matches
The Anfield giants had a strong previous season, which was Slot’s first in England—they confidently won the Premier League, which more than made up for their failures in other tournaments. However, after a large-scale summer transfer campaign, things are now falling apart.
Following a loss to Brighton, Liverpool trails fourth-placed Aston Villa by five points. In the cup against Manchester City, it was a heavy 0-4 defeat. In the Champions League playoffs, they started with a loss to Galatasaray in Istanbul, their second in six months. Afterwards, they thrashed the Turkish side at home. Against PSG, however, they lost 0-2 with no chance. Moreover, it is already certain that Salah will leave this summer.
The capital club remains a solid mid-table team in this championship. It was the same last season, which Marco Silva’s men finished with 54 points in eleventh place, and overall, the situation remains similar now. However, they still have a chance to improve from ninth to seventh, or even sixth place.
The reigning champions average 1.61 goals scored and 1.35 conceded per game. The visitors from London have almost identical statistics: 1.39 goals scored and 1.42 conceded per match.
