Prediction: 2-1
Fulham
High-flying Liverpool will be aiming to retain top position in the Premier League standings when they welcome Fulham to their Anfield on Matchday 16. The Reds dropped two points in a 3-3 draw with Newcastle United, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat the Cottagers at home ground. Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Alisster is banned for the match due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Kostas Tsimikas, Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, and Federico Chiesa remain in the recovery room.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, did well to hold Arsenal to a 1-1 draw in the London derby, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Mohamed Salah and Co. As Liverpool have turned their Anfield into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Both Calvin Bassey and Tom Cairney are banned for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
