Fulham Form & Balance Check
In preparation for the upcoming game against Liverpool, Fulham are putting in a remarkable but inconsistent performance in the Premier League. The respectable 2-0 win over West Ham United on April 14, in which Andreas Pereira scored a brace, was fought for with a certain solidity and tactical maturity. This win may be an encouraging sign for the team and their supporters in light of recent mixed results, including a 1-0 defeat to up-and-coming Newcastle and a disappointing 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Caught in midfield
Despite a spectacular 3-0 triumph over a strong Tottenham side and solid wins against both Brighton and Manchester United in February, the team often lapsed into a lack of defensive stability, ultimately leading to avoidable defeats and an eye-catching draw against Sheffield United. A pattern in Fulham’s performances shows that the team particularly excels in the second part of the game, an aspect underpinned by an impressive 90% second-half strike rate. Furthermore, the fact that draws are an outlier in their statistics at just 10% suggests that Fulham are a team that push for the win but occasionally fail due to a lack of consistency.
With a twelfth place finish in the Premier League standings and a goal difference of just -2, Fulham reveal an ambivalent season performance. The upcoming fixtures, especially the match against Liverpool, will be a real challenge to continue to consolidate their strengths and demonstrate resilience against the established teams in the league.

Liverpool Form & Balance Check
Liverpool FC are currently in impressive form and are clearly on course to keep the Premier League title race exciting right to the end. With five wins from their last ten games, including a dominant 6:1 victory over Sparta Praha in the UEFA Europa League and a critical 1:1 draw against championship rivals Manchester City, the Reds have underlined their ambitions. Of particular note is their efficiency in the second half of games, where Liverpool boast a statistical outlier of 0.9 in winning percentage, showing their impressive ability to turn games around and dominate.
Can Klopp win another title?
Liverpool failed to triumph in their FA Cup match against Manchester United, losing 4-3 after extra time, but the performances of some key players remained remarkable – including Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott, who both scored crucial goals.
With an impressive 3rd place in the Premier League and a goal difference of +41, Liverpool position themselves as relentless pursuers of the league leaders. The results of their most recent matches show in hard numbers the upward trend of the “Reds”. To summarize, Liverpool FC are strong, ready for the challenge against Fulham and should make every opponent tremble
Liverpool facts & analysis
- Six wins from the last ten Premier League games
- 3rd in the table
- First leg won 4-3
For the upcoming Premier League match between Fulham and Liverpool, it looks like Marco Silva will stick with his 4-2-3-1 formation. Despite rumors surrounding the future of certain players, Andreas Pereira’s performance in the last game against West Ham in particular shows that he will play a key role in central midfield. Given the current news and with no confirmation of key players injured or missing, it is likely that B. Leno will probably keep goal, supported by a back four consisting of T. Castagne, T. Adarabioyo, C. Bassey and A. Robinson. In central midfield, João Palhinha and S. Lukić are expected to control the game, while Andreas Pereira, supported by wingers A. Iwobi and Willian, will be responsible for the creative attack. Rodrigo Muniz is likely to be found in the striker position to finish off Fulham’s attacks.
In the upcoming Premier League match between Fulham and Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp’s team is expected to line up in a tried and tested 4-3-3 formation. Key players Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez will showcase their precision in attack, while in midfield Alexis Mac Allister will demonstrate his ability to build up play. In defense, the stability of Virgil van Dijk will be counted on, and behind him Caoimhin Kelleher will probably keep goal. Should there be any short-term absences, experienced players Thiago Alcântara and Diogo Jota will be available to play an important role in the Reds’ dynamic system of play.
