Why bet on Liverpool?
There is only one undisputed leader in the Premier League: Liverpool. Arne Slot’s team is having a stellar season and is determined to dethrone Manchester City, the league’s reigning fourth-time champion.
With 35 points, they sit at the top of the table, four points ahead of Chelsea with a game in hand. Liverpool boasts 11 wins, two draws, and just one surprising home loss to Nottingham Forest. They are unbeaten in their last ten matches and recently drew 3-3 against Newcastle in an exciting game that featured a brace from Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian’s phenomenal form has been key to the Reds’ success. His 13 goals place him as the league’s top scorer, tied with Erling Haaland, and he also has eight assists. Salah has scored in seven consecutive Premier League matches, tallying nine goals and four assists during that stretch. Additionally, he scored the winning goal in Liverpool’s 0-1 victory over Girona in the Champions League last Tuesday.
One of the positives for Slot is the return of Alisson. The Brazilian goalkeeper was a standout performer against the Spanish side this week, creating a selection dilemma for the coach, as Caoimhin Kelleher has also been in excellent form. Liverpool currently boasts the league’s best defense, conceding only 11 goals.
However, the team will be without Ibrahima Konaté, Diogo Jota, Konstantinos Tsimikas, and Federico Chiesa, all injured.
Why bet on Fulham?
Fulham is having a solid season but needs to step up if they want to secure a spot in European competition for next season. With 23 points, they sit in 10th place, but the standings are very tight—they are just two points behind fifth place and four points away from fourth.
The team recently earned an impressive draw against Arsenal (1-1) and is unbeaten in three matches, including another tie versus Tottenham (1-1) and a victory over Brighton (3-1). They’ve lost just one of their last six games, a surprising 1-4 home defeat to Wolves, who are second-to-last in the table.
Fulham has scored in every match they’ve played except for their season opener against Manchester United (1-0). However, this doesn’t necessarily indicate a strong attack, as their total of 22 goals is not particularly impressive.
Alex Iwobi has been the team’s standout performer, with five goals and three assists. Raúl Jiménez has also made an impact with five goals and two assists, showing his quality as he regains consistent playing time. Additionally, Emile Smith Rowe, after spending much of his time sidelined by injuries and bench roles at Arsenal, is now showcasing his talent with the Cottagers.
Marco Silva will have to manage some key absences, including Harrison Reed, Joachim Andersen, and Reiss Nelson, who are out due to injuries. However, Tom Cairney is returning from suspension and will be available.
