Chris Sutton previews Fulham vs Liverpool as Premier League clash draws near
As Liverpool prepare to face Fulham at Anfield, BBC pundit Chris Sutton has weighed in with his prediction for the clash, expressing confidence in Jurgen Klopp’s side despite the absence of key players. With goalkeeper Alisson and forward Diogo Jota sidelined Sutton believes the Reds have the depth and quality to navigate past Fulham successfully.
Sutton’s forecast for the match is a 3-0 victory for Liverpool, highlighting the team’s ability to cope without key figures. The absence of Alisson and Jota may pose challenges, but Sutton sees Klopp’s side securing a comfortable win, showcasing the depth of talent within the squad.
One key aspect Sutton emphasizes is the goal-scoring prowess of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward has been a prolific force for Liverpool, consistently finding the back of the net. Sutton fancies Salah to add to his goal tally in the upcoming fixture, possibly reaching a significant milestone—his 200th goal for Liverpool.
Here is what Sutton noted in his BBC exclusive:
“The Reds are without goalkeeper Alisson and Diogo Jota but they should be able to cope without them. I fancy Mohamed Salah to score, and Jurgen Klopp’s side to win comfortably.”
Liverpool’s home form has been nothing short of exceptional, and Anfield, as always, has proven to be a fortress for the Reds. The team’s top-class performances on home turf have contributed to an impressive domestic unbeaten run since October 2022, creating a daunting atmosphere for visiting teams. Sutton’s prediction of a 3-0 victory suggests his confidence in Liverpool’s ability to maintain their dominance at Anfield.
A 3-0 win on the cards?
The prospect of Salah reaching the 200-goal mark certainly adds an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming clash. The Egyptian forward has been a talismanic figure for Liverpool, consistently delivering match-winning performances. Achieving the milestone against Fulham would surely be a fitting testament to Salah’s impact and goal-scoring prowess for the club.
Marco Silva’s Fulham face a formidable challenge when they visit Anfield, with Liverpool aiming for maximum points from this fixture. Caoimhin Kelleher has proved to be a formidable backup for Alisson and our attacking department has no shortage of depth.
We should be able to see the game through without Diogo Jota, who remains a key contributor for the Reds.
