Premier League Betting - Fulham v Liverpool
This latest Premier League battle is a daunting task for Fulham, who have to entertain Liverpool at home. For Fulham It is a 'must win' end of season relegation match. Anything other than a win will probably end their survival hopes. Its actually a must win match for Liverpool too, in that it will completely end Evertonian hopes of a European Champions League spot next season. But Fulham are desperate for points if they are to stay in the top flight for an eighth season. They will at least be heartened by the positive return of striker Brian McBride. He scored on his return last week against Reading that helped the Cottagers to their first win under Roy Hodgson, and of course an invaluable three points. McBride must hope he can continue to score, particularly on Saturday; if not it could spell the end Fulham's survival hopes. The full time result may will depend on what team Liverpool boss, Rafael Benitez fields and who he leaves on the bench. He has a Champions league semi final to contend with next week and he will not want to risk too many of his first team players.
Most punters would dismiss this match as an easy away win for Liverpool but we all know that shocks happen in abundance at the tail end of every season and with home advantage, Fulham are capable of producing one! Torres, if he plays may be a good bet for first goalscorer.
Match odds Liverpool 4/5, Fulham 2/1, draw 9/4.
