Fulham vs Liverpool Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Fulham:
Rico, Odoi, Ream, Nordtveit, Bryan, McDonald, Chambers, Sessegnon, Cairney, Babel, Mitrovic
Liverpool:
Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Lallana, Salah, Firmino, Mane
Fulham are second from the bottom. They have 17 points and look almost relegated. The Cottagers, who spent over £100 million for new players during the summer transfer window, are massive 13 points adrift of safety with just eight games remaining. The actual form is bad, Fulham have suffered nine defeats on the last 10 league matches. The atmosphere in the squad is poor, while the players confidence is low. The former manager Claudio Ranieri was sacked, while Scott Parker was announced as temporary solution. So far he is unable to make some impact as Fulham lost both games with him in charge. Last weekend they lost 3:1 to Leicester City and remained in a very dangerous position. The goal for Fulham was scored by Floyd Ayite who became only the second Togolese player to score a Premier League goal, after Emmanuel Adebayor. For this match Parker will be missing three players - Alfie Mawson, Marcus Bettinelli and Andre Schurrle. Jean Seri, who did not start either of Scott Parker's first two league matches, will probably miss out again here.
The atmosphere in Liverpool's squad is excellent. The Reds have eliminated Bayern Munich to secure a place in the Champions League quarter-finals. The fans are satisfied and everybody expect another easy victory at Craven Cottage. This is an opportunity for Liverpool to climb back to the top of the Premier League as their rivals Manchester City are busy with the FA Cup this weekend. However, I don't expect an easy victory for the Merseysiders. Even more, I expect lot of issues in this match, particularly knowing the poor away form of Jurgen Klopp's men. They failed to win any of the last three league matches played on road. Worse, the Reds didn't score on the last two away matches in the Premier League. The key player Mohamed Salah has not scored on the last six matches across all competitions. Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are also quiet away from home in the top flight recently. As a result, Liverpool have lost control of top spot in the Premier League. The fans are concerned this will be another season without trophy. Klopp will surely make some changes from the side that beat Bayern Munichon Wednesday. Joel Matip, who scored an own-goal aat Allianz Arena, could be rested, while Dejan Lovren is expected to start from the first minute. Jordan Henderson is definitely sidelined after coming off in the first half against Bayern with a twisted ankle. Naby Keita is rated as doubtful, while this match comes too soon for Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. Adam Lallana, who impressed against Burnley last weekend, could start here.
Fulham vs Liverpool Preview:
Liverpool are big favorites against relegation-candidates Fulham, however I expect a difficult match. The Reds won 3:1 in Munich and have secured quarter-finals in the Champions League, but this is a different game. The Cottagers will be fully focused on defense and Liverpool usually have a problem with such teams. The players are tired after the intensive 90 minutes against Bayern, so I expect Fulham to produce lot of issues to Klopp's team.

Everton vs Chelsea Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Everton:
Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin
Chelsea:
Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta. Rudiger, David Luiz, Emerson, Barkley, Jorginho, Kante, Pedro, Giroud, Hazard
Everton have 37 points and sit in the middle of the table. The Toffees had European ambitions before the season, so this could not be rated as successful campaign. The actual form is poor, Everton have four defeats on the last six matches the Premier League. The only victory came against Cardiff City, while the goalless draw against Liverpool in the Merseysider derby could be evaluate as a positive result. In terms of defeats, Everton lost to Wolverhampton, Manchester City, Watford and Newcastle United last weekend. The defeat at St James Park (3:2) was very painful as the Toffees had two-goal advantage after the first half thanks to the goals scored by Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin. That was Richarlison's 11th Premier League goal since the start of the season, while Calvert-Lewin has six goals to his name. Just to mention, Gylfi Sigurdsson has also scored 11 goals this season. Manager Marco Silva was angry after the match and has been charged by the Football Association with "improper conduct" after he argued with the referees on the pitch. Silva was unhappy his side did not get a penalty and said Newcastle's winning goal was 'a clear offside'. For this match Silva has some unavailable players. Leighton Baines is sidelined with a rib injury that has ruled him out for a month. Kurt Zouma can't play against the parent club Chelsea due to the terms in his loan agreement. Finally, Seamus Coleman and Phil Jagielka are rated as doubtful.
Chelsea are on the sixth place with 57 points. The Blues are three points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal, but have a match in hand. The actual form is solid, they have two victories and one draw on the last three matches in the Premier League. Manager Maurizio Sarri was unhappy with the fact his players dropped two points against Wolverhampton last weekend. However, Chelsea were close to suffer defeat as Eden Hazard equalized in the 92nd minute of the match. That was his 50th Premier League goal at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea, becoming the third player to do so for the club in the competition after Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba. Willian should also be mentioned for his assist. It was Willian's fifth assist for Hazard in the Premier League. In the meantime Chelsea were outstanding in UEFA Europe League. The Blues destroyed Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev and progressed with a 8:0 aggregate victory. Olivier Giroud scored a hat-trick in Ukraine on Thursday and most probably earned a place in the starting eleven, particularly knowing Gonzalo Higuain missed the last match through illness. It would be just seventh league start of the season for Giroud. Most of the other players are ready, only Davide Zappacosta is rated as doubtful.
Everton vs Chelsea Prediction:
Everton are far from their best form. The Toffees have four defeats on the last six matches in the Premier League and the players confidence is low. On contrary, Chelsea have four victories and just one draw on the last five matches across all competitions. The Blues were impressive in Ukraine where they won 5:0 against Dynamo Kiev. I expect to leave Goodison Park with three points.
