Liverpool - Fulham

Liverpool enter this matchday 4 encounter following a positive run that includes a solid 2-0 win over Ipswich Town and a midweek victory against Atletico Madrid. The hosts have shown resilience in recent weeks, managing draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest before finding their rhythm. In contrast, Fulham arrive at Anfield looking to stabilize their campaign after a difficult sequence in the Premier League. The visitors suffered consecutive narrow defeats to Sunderland and Crystal Palace, though they did demonstrate their attacking potential with a 3-0 EFL Cup victory over AFC Wimbledon late in August.

The two sides last met on 11 April 2026, when Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory. With Virgil van Dijk expected to anchor the Liverpool defence and Bernd Leno guarding the Fulham goal, both teams will look to impose their tactical shape early. As the Premier League season gains momentum, the question remains whether Fulham can disrupt Liverpool at Anfield or if the home side will continue their recent upward trajectory.
