Liverpool v Fulham | Sunday 3rd December | 2pm | Anfield | #LIVFUL
The opposition
- After a disappointing fifth place finish last season, Liverpool look set to be title contenders once more this time around, losing just one of their 13 Premier League matches to sit just two points adrift of current leaders Arsenal.
- The Reds’ home form has been particularly impressive this campaign, as they boast a 100 per cent record from their games at Anfield, also shipping just two goals in their six matches on their own patch.
- They go into Sunday on the back of a European midweek, when a 4-0 victory over LASK confirmed top spot for the Reds in their Europa League group.

“Everybody knows the quality they’ve got,” he told FFCtv. “They’ve got a good manager, good players, and for us it’s just about our gameplan. It’s going to be hard, it’s going to be difficult, we might have to suffer, but I think we’ve got more than enough quality.”
