Bet up to £25 risk-free on a Liverpool draw
Fulham and Liverpool's positions were pretty perilous at Christmas, as the two teams that formed half of the final four in last season's Europa League appeared to be heading for unexpected relegation battles, however they have both turned things around admirably in recent months.
In fact, they have been two of the most impressive performers since the turn of the year, with Liverpool delivering the third-highest points haul of any club in the division in 2011 and Fulham the sixth best, their 1-0 loss at Anfield in January one of only three they have suffered in 15 games.
There's little chance of either suffering a sudden dip in form over the final weeks of the campaign either as both have plenty to play for, with Liverpool needing a point at Craven Cottage to return to fifth place, and their hosts very much in contention for their third top-half Premier League finish.
The draw looks the most likely outcome at the intriguing price of [3.4], as Liverpool have remarkably not yet lost to a top-half side under Kenny Dalglish but Fulham won't be rolling over having gone unbeaten at home in seven league encounters, winning six and keeping six clean sheets.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful. So if the spoils are shared, you'll gain around £60, yet won't lose a penny if there's a winner.
If you do anticipate one of the clubs to get their hands on all three points then you can have a loss-proof wager on that instead, with Liverpool [2.38] favourites and Fulham [3.4].
Given the statistics about Fulham's fine defensive record - the fourth best in the division - and the fact Liverpool have conceded just three in six, under 2.5 goals appears probable at [1.79], while 0-0 ([10.5]) and 1-1 ([7.4]) stand out as the pick of the score punts.
