Teams Preview
Liverpool FC Preview
Andoni Iraola avoided an unwanted piece of history on MD3, with Liverpool ending their opening two games with 2-2 draws to prevent him from becoming the first Reds boss since Brendan Rodgers to go winless across the first three league matches.
The victory last time out was even more significant as Liverpool also kept their first Premier League clean sheet since March 2026—coincidentally against Fulham at Anfield. Against Ipswich, they finally found the net before half-time, although the underlying numbers suggest room for improvement, with their 0.69 xG falling short of Ipswich’s 0.75.
The biggest boost, however, came from Alexander Isak, whose brace took his season tally to three league goals—already matching his entire haul from an injury-hit debut campaign. Cody Gakpo has also impressed, contributing four goals in three games (1G, 3A), while Ronald Araujo caught the eye on his first start.
Off the pitch, Liverpool announced Turkish Airlines as their new shirt sponsor from 2027/28 in a reported £300m deal. Until then, Standard Chartered will remain on the Reds’ shirts for the rest of the season.
Liverpool snapped their six-game winless run in the Premier League with a win in their last match.
Liverpool are undefeated in their last four Premier League games.
At least one goal has been scored by the Reds in their last 19 matches in the Premier League.
Team News
Aside from the long-term absentees, Liverpool have concerns over the fitness of Joe Gomez and Federico Chiesa. Chiesa’s situation looks particularly uncertain, with the forward also omitted from the squad for the Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool Probable starting Lineup
Alisson (GK); Araujo, Jacquet, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Barcola, Wirtz, Gakpo, Isak
Fulham FC Preview
Fulham have suffered back-to-back 2-3 defeats at home, first against Chelsea and most recently Crystal Palace. The latest setback will sting even more, having twice taken the lead before eventually losing.
Despite the result, the Cottagers dominated the numbers, registering 25 shots, 64% possession and an impressive 3.14 xG, yet managed only six efforts on target compared to Palace’s 10. Their wastefulness in the final third remains a concern, but the bigger issue is at the back, with seven goals conceded in three games and the league’s second-highest xGA at 6.24.
Those shortcomings have left Fulham in the relegation zone, making them one of just two teams yet to pick up a point this season.
The defeat to Palace meant that Fulham have now lost three consecutive Premier League London derbies for the first time since 2023.
Fulham and Coventry are the only two sides yet to register a point this season so far.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the last five matches in all competitions featuring Fulham.
Team News
Aside from their long-term absentees, Fulham have a clean bill of health, with no fresh injury or suspension concerns heading into the fixture.
Fulham Probable starting Lineup
Leno (GK); Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Iwobi, Bobb, King, Palacios, Gonzalo García.
LIVERPOOL FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning PredictionLiverpool’s defence remains a concern, especially against a Fulham side capable of causing damage in attack. However, the Cottagers have their own defensive frailties, which could tilt the contest in the Reds’ favour.
Liverpool boast an excellent home record against Fulham, winning 23 of their last 33 Premier League meetings at Anfield, with just two defeats. Yet Fulham can take confidence from Liverpool’s recent struggles at home, with the Reds held to draws in their last three league games at Anfield. It could be a tight affair, but Liverpool should have enough to edge it.
The bookmakers also favour the visitors, pricing Liverpool at 1.42 for the win, compared to 6.40 for Fulham and 5.20 for a draw.
