- Liverpool are undefeated in six straight duels against Fulham
League leaders Liverpool host Fulham in a Premier League clash at Anfield. While Liverpool are currently in outstanding form and lead the league with an impressive 35 points, Fulham, in 10th place with 23 points, have a solid but less impressive record this season.
The Reds have been utterly dominant this term, with an unstoppable attacking force bolstered by stars such as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. Their home form is particularly noteworthy, with Liverpool winning almost every game at Anfield this season and their offense regularly putting pressure on opponents.
In contrast, although Fulham have had a strong run of form in recent weeks, as evidenced by their 1-1 draw with Arsenal, they have shown some weaknesses defensively. They have struggled against top teams like Tottenham, especially away from home, but have also managed to pick up valuable points against teams like Crystal Palace and Brentford.
It will be a difficult task for Fulham to take anything from Anfield, but they have shown that they can hold their own against the big teams in the Premier League. Liverpool, on the other hand, will do everything they can to defend their lead in the table and remain unbeaten. The game promises to be an exciting encounter, with Liverpool favored to win, but Fulham should not be underestimated. Find out who will come out on top in the end in our Liverpool v Fulham tip.

Fulham form & record check
The last game between Fulham and Arsenal ended in a 1-1 draw, which was a disappointing result for the Gunners. Fulham took the lead as early as the 11th minute through Raul Jimenez. However, Arsenal responded in the second half when William Saliba equalized in the 52nd minute.
Arsenal clearly dominated the game, with 67% possession and a total of twelve shots on goal, although only a few of these were really dangerous. Fulham had only 33% possession and only managed two shots on goal, but both were on target. Despite Arsenal’s offensive superiority, Fulham put in an impressive defensive performance. Their compactness and efficiency in defense prevented Arsenal from scoring more goals, which particularly frustrated the visitors in the final meters.
Fear opponent Liverpool
Fulham have only won once in their last 14 meetings with Liverpool, drawing three and losing all ten. This poor record shows that Fulham were clearly outclassed by Liverpool in most of the duels.
However, the team will probably try to defend compactly and neutralize Liverpool’s attack, as they did in the game against Arsenal (1-1). With a defensive tactic, they hope to keep the game open for as long as possible and wait for counter-attacking opportunities.
Fulham facts & analysis
- 10th place in the Premier League
- Only one game lost in the last seven Premier League games
- Only one win in the last 14 games against Liverpool
Liverpool will line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with a stable back line and a midfield that supports both defensively and offensively to start attacks and control the ball. The attacking front three, with fast wingers and a central striker, will ensure that Liverpool constantly put pressure on the opposing defense.
Fulham, on the other hand, will play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, similar to the one they used against Arsenal, with a stable double six that protects the center and covers the attack. The three offensive midfielders behind the lone striker will try to shape the game and take advantage of counter-attacking opportunities.
Liverpool is clearly leading the direct comparison. In the last five meetings, Liverpool won four times and one game ended in a draw. This strong record underlines Liverpool’s dominance in their last meetings with Fulham.
