Liverpool are the visitors to Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon (15:00 kick-off, live on Sky Sports Main Event) as Fulham attempt to continue a four-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

The Reds have also been going along smoothly, with no defeats in eight games domestically or in Europe as Arne Slot's side have rallied into the top four.

They were held to a lacklustre stalemate with Leeds on New Year's Day, however, and must attempt to get back on track against a Fulham side with five home wins in nine attempts.

Below are my Fulham vs Liverpool betting tips, alongside the latest team news and odds for this Premier League clash in London.

Liverpool to win @ 1/1

It wasn't the start Slot would have wanted to 2026 as his side were held scoreless by Leeds at Anfield on Thursday, but with an xG figure of 2.07 they'll feel it was a game they should have won.

The Reds had won four on the bounce to round of the calendar year and now meet a Fulham side with two defeats in their last three on home soil at Craven Cottage.

Liverpool have only lost one of their last eight trips to the Cottagers and, with some better efficiency in front of goal, can take all three points back to Merseyside.

Over 3.5 goals @ 21/10

This could be a goal glut. Both teams have scored in eight successive Craven Cottage meetings between these sides, with five of those going over 3.5 goals, including the two most recent Premier League head-to-heads.

Fulham were involved in a nine-goal thriller with Manchester City in West London early last month and this could follow a high-scoring pattern.

Liverpool have seen 31 goals in nine away league games, a tally bettered only by Bournemouth and Burnley entering this round of games.
