Dimitar-Berbatov3-1

Sunday afternoon’s game at Craven Cottage sees Fulham host Liverpool, with the hosts still in need of a point to be absolutely certain of avoiding relegation.

Martin Jol’s men are in a terrible run of form which has seen them take just a point from their last six games; a run which includes last weekend’s 4-2 home defeat to relegated Reading.

Defeat here could see them slip to as low as sixteenth place should other results go against them, though there chances of dropping to the Championship are reflected by the price of 151.0 (150/1) offered by Bet 365 for them to be relegated.

Sascha Riether and Mladen Petric are both available having recovered from their respective injuries, though Steve Sidewell misses out through suspension.

Dimitar Berbatov is widely available at 8.0 (7/1) to open the scoring, with Petric a 10.0 (9/1) shot with Paddy Power.

Fulham are best priced with Bet 365 at 3.9 (29/10) for the win, with Liverpool favourites at 2.1 (11/10) with Bet Victor. The draw is a 3.6 (13/5) shot with Betfred.

Though they can still technically overtake local rivals Everton, the Reds look destined to finish a place higher than last season in seventh place.

Brendan Rodgers men go in to the game on the back of last week’s goalless Merseyside derby; a result that extended their unbeaten run to six games.

Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger are both set to miss this and the final game of the season, along with the suspended Luis Suarez, while Jamie Carragher is to make his penultimate appearance for the club.

Daniel Sturridge is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 5.75 (19/4) with Bet Victor, with Philippe Coutinho a 10.0 (9/1) shot with Paddy Power.

The reverse fixture at Anfield back in December finished 4-0 to the hosts, and you can back another Liverpool win to nil at 4.2 (16/5) with Coral, whilst the same firm offer 1.73 (8/11) for them to get the two goals they need to set a club record for scoring on the road in single season.
