Fulham vs Liverpool 24.01.2024 Prediction: EFL Cup

Match Overview

Fulham take on Liverpool at Craven Cottage in a match in the second leg of the EFL Cup semifinal on Wednesday. The first leg of this match was won by Liverpool by a 2-1 scoreline and they will be expected to coast over their opponents in this game as well. They come into this game on the back of a whopping 4-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Key Highlights 

For Fulham to challenge Liverpool's supremacy in this game, they will have to play out of their skins. They cannot afford to rest easy on their laurels and give the advantage to the Reds early on in this game. It is a known fact that Liverpool want nothing more than lifting the League Cup trophy this year, and Fulham are merely standing their way in the semifinal stage.

Injury Report

While Adama Traore is one of the big names missing in action for Fulham, for Liverpool, the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip, among others, are missing out.

Prediction

Liverpool appear to be the downright favourites to win this game and we expect them to do so quite comfortably. Fulham do not have strong defenders who can ward off challenges from Liverpool for a consistent period of time. For the home team to compete with the Reds, they will have to get on the scoresheet as soon as possible and not let the visiting side take any early advantage.
