Gary Neville Shocked by Roy Keane’s Bold Fulham vs. Liverpool Prediction
Roy Keane left Gary Neville stunned with his unexpected prediction for Liverpool’s trip to Fulham on Sunday.
The Reds will be aiming to build on their Merseyside derby victory midweek as they head to Craven Cottage, entering the match with full awareness of Arsenal’s result against Everton the day before.
Currently, Arne Slot’s side hold a commanding 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, with both Liverpool and Arsenal having 24 points left to play for. Many pundits believe the gap is too wide for the Gunners to close.
However, Keane has thrown a curveball into the title race conversation, suggesting that Liverpool’s lead may not be as comfortable as it seems.
Neville Left Stunned by Keane’s Prediction
While making predictions for the weekend’s Premier League fixtures on The Overlap, Keane surprised everyone by forecasting a 2-1 Fulham victory on Sunday.
Neville, who initially leaned toward a Liverpool win before settling on a 2-2 draw, was taken aback by his former teammate’s call, reacting off-camera with a stunned, “Really?… Wow!”
It wasn’t just the ex-Manchester United duo predicting Liverpool to drop points—Jamie Carragher also backed a draw in West London.
Can Liverpool Secure a Win at Craven Cottage?
Fulham have had a strong season and remain in the hunt for European qualification, sitting just six points off fifth place. However, their form since the international break has dipped, with losses to Crystal Palace (3-0) and Arsenal (2-1).
In contrast, Liverpool rebounded from their Carabao Cup final disappointment by winning the Merseyside derby and maintaining their 12-point cushion over Arsenal. Slot’s team has not lost a Premier League game since mid-September, when they fell to Nottingham Forest.
The last meeting between these sides in December ended in a dramatic draw, with Liverpool needing a late equalizer after Andy Robertson’s 17th-minute red card altered the game’s course.
Despite Fulham’s recent struggles, Marco Silva’s side is expected to present a tough challenge. However, title-contending teams often find ways to win difficult matches, and Liverpool have excelled at that throughout the season.
If they can defy the pundits’ predictions—particularly Keane’s—on Sunday, their dream of celebrating a Premier League title at Anfield on May 25 will edge even closer to reality.
