These two teams experienced hugely contrasting weekends with Liverpool winning handsomely at Norwich shortly after Fulham had been embarrassed at Goodison Park. With Liverpool 1.68 to win the odds say there'll be more of the same on Tuesday, but the Merseyside giants have not it all their own way at Anfield this year and Fulham have shown themselves capable of pulling off the odd big win. Let's see if we can pick out some solid bets ahead of this Tuesday nighter under the Anfield floodlights...
Match Odds
As I mentioned, it's not been the finest season for Liverpool but Kenny Dalglish will be looking to round out a tricky campaign in style with wins in the league's remaining fixtures and more importantly next weekend's FA Cup final.
For me, Liverpool's problems this season stem from...

I've tried - honestly, I have - but I can't make a case for backing Fulham or laying Manchester United at Old Trafford. This is the business end of the season and, as we all know, the champions are very good at business. I will be shocked if this ends in anything other than three points for the home side - I've just got to find a way of profiting from that eventuality.
[u]Match Odds /United Win to Nil[/u]
Of course, the Betfair markets are not populated by fools and the prices on a United win reflect the likely dominance of the home side. United are just 1.26 to win a 12th home game of this Premier League season and, although shocks can happen, we aren't going to see one here.
United are masters at giving an opponent time on the ball, almost lulling the opposition into their comfort...

I was a little surprised that Roberto Mancini didn't make a move for a central defender in the January transfer window. That's the one area where I feel they may be lacking an extra player. It was notable that the suspension of Vincent Kompany coincided with a spell of conceding four goals in two matches (two at home to Spurs, two away at Liverpool in the Carling Cup) with the inexperienced Stefan Savic thrown in at the deep end and showing that perhaps he's just not quite ready to be playing at this level yet.
But Mancini obviously feels that with Kompany, Joleon Lescott and Kolo Toure, who returns from international duty at the end of the month, he has enough cover. And he should know. I'm not entirely sure where exactly on-loan David Pizarro fits into his plans for the remainder of...

Liverpool need to start winning matches such as these if they're going to finish in the Top Four and at a ground where they won easily last year, they should be able to do so again this time round.
If you're going to aim one piece of criticism at Liverpool for what they've done this season it would be that they haven't won matches they've gone into as clear favourites.
Draws against both Manchesters and wins away at the likes of Chelsea and Everton are a good indication of how they can raise their game for the big matches but all that hard work is undone when you draw at home to the likes of Norwich and Stoke.

This match will therefore be a good indication of whether this is where they kick on and win a game they start as favourites (2.24) or drop points having...
