Fulham vs. Liverpool

Fulham hosts Liverpool on Sunday with kickoff at 9am EDT on Peacock.

Fulham is one of just three teams to have earned points at Anfield this season and they were just four minutes away from being just the second team to beat Liverpool this season. Not for the first or last time this season, a late goal undid Fulham (although Fulham have certainly stuck it to a few teams late this season too). Liverpool are coming off a tight win against Everton mid-week and they do have some injuries to deal with. Alison might still be out due to concussion. Alexander-Arnold and Gomez are out. That still leaves a very good squad to send to Craven Cottage.

Fulham might have Tete back in the lineup. Castagne certainly deserves a break since he has played every minute of every game since late December. Tete also brings the possibility of some extra spark on the right, so it would be great if he could make a late appearance at least. Wilson and Nelson are still out.

Although Liverpool has only won away once this season to a team currently above Fulham (Manchester City), I'm not expecting to get anything out of this. So let's make it fun and put Sessegnon on the right wing before the 80th minute!

 

The lads made it fun alright @MicahMan!!! What a win!! Bassey my MotM

CUE IT JAMES!!!

 

What a spectacular performance from Fulham! I totally agree with you @SoCalJoe about Bassey. It seems odd to give that honor to a CB when Fulham scored three goals for only the third time this season, but he was almost perfect. He could be at fault on the first goal for not blocking out Mac Allister a step earlier, but other than that his decision making on when to step out and bully Liverpool ball carriers was perfect. Along with Robinson they shut down the threat on Liverpool's right side.

Sessegnon is another who deserves praise for getting Fulham back into this match. Fulham seemed deflated after the Liverpool goal, but Sess once again stepped up and made things happen when Fulham needed it. Thank you Silva for giving him a start. Also, credit to Berge for passing forward multiple times today. It set up the passage of play on Fulham's first goal and he created another great chance for Sessegnon later.

Muniz may have scored the winning goal, but he also was key in getting into Liverpool's head. He had their back line all out of sorts which was key to the second and third goal.

This is another classic in what will be remembered as possibly the best Premier League season ever for Fulham.

 

Wow!

 

What a strange team we are. What's stranger is that I don't think anyone is too surprised. We match the best teams well but have trouble against bunker ball. Several worthy MOTM candidates. I gave my vote to Iwobi, but arguments can be made for Sess, Bassey, Muniz, Pereira, and Leno. Awesome to see Kenny back healthy and that Wilson is only a week or so away. We'll need them before the season is over.

 

Bassey did win MOTM. The announcement from Fulham includes this incredible stat: Fulham is the only team in the league this season to not allow Mo Salah a shot on target - and they have now done it twice!
