Footymad preview History of the Fulham v Liverpool fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Monday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 14 of the 31 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 10.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in May 2011, as the visitors ran out cosy 2-5 winners in a Premier League match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been an indifferent run of form for the Cottagers of late, and things are not going to improve with the visit of Liverpool, who one believes will win this game handsomely. Away win
