Liverpool vs Fulham: prediction, H2H and probable lineups — 11.04.2026
One of the fixtures of Premier League Matchweek 32 will take place on Saturday at Anfield, where Liverpool host Fulham. This clash deserves special attention: behind the big-name billing lies a game where the favorite is vulnerable, and the underdog arrives in far better shape than their status might suggest.
Match preview
Liverpool approach this game in a rather contradictory state: the team still clings to a Champions League spot, but recent results are alarming even for those who usually trust their resilience. In their last eight outings across all competitions, the Reds have managed just two wins, and a string of defeats to Manchester City (0-4), PSG (0-2), and Brighton (1-2) has starkly exposed defensive frailties and issues in transition.
Yet, Anfield remains a fortress where Arne Slot's side still look much more assured. At home, Liverpool have lost just once in their last 13 matches in all competitions, and the return of key figures like Salah and Isak gives the hosts enough individual quality to break open matches even on rough nights.
Fulham, meanwhile, arrive in far sharper form than most mid-table sides at this late stage of the season. They have picked up four wins in their last seven games, including a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley, and now look like a unit that not only waits for chances, but knows how to shift gears during matches and exploit the opponent’s weak spots.
Still, Marco Silva’s men continue to struggle away from home. The Cottagers drop too many points on their travels, and trips to Anfield have rarely brought them comfort. To get a positive result here, they’ll need near-perfect defensive discipline and maximum efficiency up front when chances arise.
Probable lineups
- Liverpool: Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konaté, Kerkez, Gomez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Ekitike.
- Fulham: Leno, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne, Robinson, Iwobi, Berge, Wilson, King, Bobb, Muniz.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Liverpool have won six of their last eight home matches against Fulham.
- Both teams have scored in each of the last four meetings, with the total reaching at least four goals every time.
- The hosts come into this match after three consecutive losses to Manchester City, PSG, and Brighton, while Fulham have won four of their last seven and significantly improved their overall play.
Prediction
This is a match where Liverpool's status still matters, but no longer overwhelms opponents by default. Fulham are now well-organized and confident in their identity, so they won't just crumble under the Anfield pressure, while the hosts are still carrying the scars of recent turbulence, especially in closing stages of games. Expect an open contest with chances at both ends, where the hosts’ individual class will be tested by Fulham’s current solidity. The most logical bet here is both teams to score and a tight scenario with no clear dominance from either side.
