Liverpool are finding their rhythm, while Fulham remain without a point: Liverpool vs Fulham prediction
The Premier League fourth-round match between Liverpool and Fulham will take place on 12 September at Anfield. The hosts head into the game after two consecutive victories in all competitions, while the London side have lost all three of their opening league matches.
Liverpool: two consecutive wins and improved defending
Andoni Iraola's side began the season with 2-2 draws against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest before beating Ipswich 2-0. Alexander Isak scored twice and confirmed his strong attacking form.
The Merseyside club also beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the Champions League during the week. Liverpool will now look for their first Premier League home victory after three consecutive draws at Anfield.
Fulham: three defeats at the start of the league campaign
Alvaro Arbeloa's side are yet to collect a point. Fulham have lost 3-2 to Chelsea, 1-0 to Sunderland and 3-2 to Crystal Palace.
The London side created enough chances in their latest match, but poor finishing and defensive problems cost them again. In their last five meetings with Liverpool at Anfield in all competitions, Fulham have won only once.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Liverpool have won their last two matches in all competitions.
- Fulham have lost all three of their opening Premier League matches.
- Since Fulham's victory at Anfield in 2021, Liverpool have won four of their next five home matches against this opponent.
The hosts should extend their winning run: Liverpool vs Fulham prediction
Fulham are capable of creating chances and are unlikely to spend the entire match pinned back near their own goal, but they remain too inconsistent defensively. Against Liverpool's current attack, that could prove decisive.
Even with squad absences, the hosts still have enough quality going forward to score more than once. At the same time, the visitors are quite capable of getting a goal of their own.
