Liverpool FC keep getting gifts from their bitterest of rivals. Ahead of their trip to Fulham FC tomorrow, the Reds have seen their bitter rivals across Stanley Park, Everton, battle Arsenal to a score draw in the weekend’s first kickoff.
That’s two more points dropped by the Gunners, who are running out of opportunities to mathematically catch the Merseyside club.

And it happened last month too, when Manchester United, another local and bitter rival of Liverpool’s who are languishing this season in lower table, battled Arsenal to a draw. More points dropped, and we’ll soon be able to call Liverpool FC “champions-elect.”
And a couple of teams, with supporters who hate LFC more than any other club, helped them get there.
So with that said, let’s get to the lineup prediction.
