Liverpool continue their title quest at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night as Fulham look to progress to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. Jurgen Klopp’s men won the first leg 2-1 but will have to be at their best to get the job done.
A win would be the perfect start to Liverpool’s quest for trophies as they are currently on a four-match winning streak. They continued their 14-match unbeaten run with a win over Bournemouth on Sunday and extended their lead to five points. With Manchester City still having a game in hand and the title race seemingly over, Liverpool fans are bracing themselves for another exciting end to the season.
Of course, with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa still in the mix, many pundits are talking about where the title will end up. Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has claimed Liverpool’s title hopes could end after their next two Premier League games. Liverpool now face Chelsea, then Fulham and Norwich before traveling to Arsenal. Merson said these two games will define Liverpool’s season.
He told Sky Sports: “I always said Liverpool would be there at the end of the season. “They have a lot of forwards. Actually, there are 5 people. And everyone signs up.” The difference between City, Liverpool and Arsenal is that City can win 10 games in a row and nobody will notice. “It would be great if Liverpool and Arsenal did that.
Liverpool’s title run could be over in a week. They play at home against Chelsea. You never know what Chelsea will be like. It’s a tough game because Chelsea can play. Liverpool will then go with Arsenal and if everything goes as it did in the FA Cup match, Arsenal will win this match. “Before you know it, it’s all over for Liverpool.”
