Liverpool has not given up in the Premier League championship race . What Jugen Klopp’s team showed against Fulham says it all.
After 33 rounds in the Premier League, Liverpool has 74 points, equal to Arsenal – the top team. The two clubs are 1 point ahead of Man City, but played one more match. In this round, Man City did not play because they were busy playing the FA Cup semi-final.
On April 20, Arsenal won 2-0 at Wolves’ Molineux stadium. This result means that Liverpool must beat Fulham at all costs if they don’t want to be left in the dust in the championship race.
Before the match with the London representative, Liverpool had just been eliminated from the Europa League . They lost to Atalanta with a total score of 1-3. A 1-0 victory in Italy on April 19 was not enough to help “The Kop” create a comeback.
However, Liverpool still showed an impressive ability to bounce back after a series of bad results. At Fulham’s Craven Cottage field, the guests appeared to dominate, they held the ball 61%, launched 14 shots, 7 of which were on target. The expected goals ratio (xG) of “The Kop” reached 1.12.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota were the scorers for Liverpool. On the other side of the field, Fulham had the only goal thanks to Timothy Castagne.
Experts say that the rest of the Premier League season 2023/24 will be very attractive, because Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City were all eliminated from the European Cup. Arsenal and Liverpool certainly do not want to go through the season empty-handed. And Man City, outside the Premier League, still has the FA Cup final to fight for.
Currently, because the gap between the championship group is only 1 point, any team that stumbles will eliminate themselves from the game. The victories of Liverpool and Arsenal will also put great pressure on Man City in the near future.
