It's been a tough week to be a Liverpool supporter. For starters, they were shut out at home in a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace which, barring a miracle, burst their EPL Title hopes. They followed that up with a midweek exit in the Europa League, a competition they were among the favorites to win.
If there's any motivation for Liverpool this week it's the fact that Man City are idle and anything but three points would ultimately be the end of their season as they know it.
But will Fulham get the "roll over and die" memo?
Find out below as I offer my best free picks and Fulham vs. Liverpool predictions for Sunday, April 21.
EPL predictions for Fulham vs Liverpool
Could you imagine a scenario where Liverpool wins their remaining six games (four of them on the road) and wrestle the EPL crown away from Manchester City?
I, for one, can't, but it would be pretty incredible to see, and if the Reds have any idea of pulling off a miracle, it'll need to start early vs. Fulham.
Think about it. Liverpool has had the carpet pulled from under them on two fronts over the last week. Now they must go to the Capital to face a Fulham side that's mired in mid-table with very little to play for outside of a top-half finish.
If I know Jurgen Klopp, he'll have his side ready to go from the opening kick-off and have them playing a fast and attacking style of football.
As for Fulham, they've been much better at home than on the road, nearly doubling up their point total, and goals have been flooding for their fixtures. Over the last 11 fixtures in all competitions, there have been at least three goals scored in nine of those matches.
Add in the fact that both teams have scored in eight of the last nine meetings at Craven Cottage, I'm expecting the fireworks to get started in the opening 45.
My best bet: First-half Over 1.5 (+105 at TonyBet)

Fulham vs Liverpool same-game parlay (SGP)
Since the first-half goal market isn't available, we have no problem pivoting to the Over 3.5 goals, as both teams have found the back of the net in eight of nine H2Hs. I'm not expecting a 1-1 draw here.
I expect a free-flowing game with plenty of chances, and I expect Liverpool to dominate the proceedings early and find the net to ease some of the tension.

Fulham vs Liverpool side and Over/Under analysis
- There's been a bit of money come in on Liverpool after opening at -175. They now sit around -180 depending on the book, and should close closer to -200 once lineups are announced an hour before kick-off.
- Fulham have been full marks at home, doubling the amount of points (28) at Craven Cottage than on their travels (14). They've also not beaten Liverpool at home since 2011, so that should spark motivation to perform well.
- Both teams are Over teams, having played to the Over in a combined 42 of 66 games.
- Eight of the last nine head-to-heads at Craven Cottage have seen both teams score.
