Mark Lawrenson predicts a significant outcome for Liverpool in their upcoming match against Fulham at Anfield, despite the VAR nonsense.

The legendary player for Liverpool, Mark Lawrenson, has backed his old team to defeat Fulham handily when they play in the Premier League on Sunday, December 3.The Reds enter this game fresh off a 4-0 victory over LASK on Thursday, November 30, in the UEFA Europa League group stage. Their most recent league match at the Etihad concluded in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

Mark Lawrenson predicts a significant outcome for Liverpool in their upcoming match against Fulham at Anfield, despite the VAR nonsense.

 

The Reds earned a crucial point against the league leaders thanks to a late goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold. The last Premier League match saw Fulham triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 at home.

Willian’s two penalties in the second half were given under dubious circumstances, requiring the use of VAR on both occasions. Later, Wolves manager Gary O’Neil said that VAR shouldn’t have overturned the on-field decision for the second penalty and that the on-field referee shouldn’t have awarded Fulham’s first penalty.Despite this, the Cottagers emerged victorious, securing all three points and registering their fourth victory of the year. But Lawrenson believes they will have trouble against Liverpool, who are one spot below the leaders in the table right now.In his PaddyPower column, the analyst predicted that Liverpool will win 3-0 at Anfield.

 

Despite the absurdity surrounding VAR, Fulham defeated Wolves with a solid performance. You are limited to winning your games. Liverpool has three games coming up, and you would think they would win them all, especially following their impressive performance against Manchester City the previous weekend. Although I believe Alisson is out, I don’t think Fulham will be in a position to take advantage of it too frequently.”

 

Following injuries they sustained in the draw with Manchester City, Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota are both anticipated to miss the match against Fulham.

 

Liverpool’s head-to-head record versus Fulham

Over the last ten or so years, Liverpool has had a great head-to-head record versus Fulham. Nonetheless, none of the recent meetings have been unduly biased.In their past ten encounters in all competitions, the Reds have only suffered one loss to the Cottagers. Nevertheless, in their last four league encounters, Jurgen Klopp’s team has only triumphed once over them.Fulham led the game twice the previous season, but the sole result at Craven Cottage was a 2-2 draw. Then, when the teams met at Anfield, Liverpool had to work hard to win. For the hosts to win 1-0, they needed a penalty kick from Mohamed Salah in the first half.

 

Meanwhile, Fulham achieved a 1-1 draw at home and a surprising 1-0 league victory at Anfield in the 2020–21 campaign.Then, they were.
