Best Value Single: Bobby Decordova-Reid to get booked @ 5/1
Versatile Cottagers star Bobby Decordova-Reid has found a more regular berth at right wing back for Scott Parker’s side of late, though the 27-year-old could have an uncomfortable evening when Fulham host Premier League champions Liverpool on Sunday.
Decordova-Reid has already been cautioned three times in just seven starts for Fulham this term, and he should have his hands full when dealing with a Liverpool left flank manned by Andrew Robertson and Sadio Mane.
