Key Facts
- Liverpool sits in sixth place with five points; in this tight early-season standings, a win against Fulham would be immediately valuable.
- Fulham sits in 19th place with no points after three losses, which is why the pressure on the visitors to secure an early win is particularly high.
- Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid showcased their ability to stage comebacks: Dominik Szoboszlai equalized, and Alexis Mac Allister scored the decisive goal.
- The absences of Vitezslav Jaros, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, and Hugo Ekitiké limit Liverpool’s options in goal, on defense, and on offense.
- Fulham +1.5 is supported by the visitors’ narrow losses, while Tom Cairney’s absence further reduces their already limited midfield options.
Match Preview
Following their 2-1 Champions League win over Atlético Madrid, Liverpool returns to the Premier League just three days later on Saturday. The short recovery period will test whether Andoni Iraola can translate the strong performance in Europe into a convincing league showing. The match takes place at Anfield Road, where Liverpool defeated Fulham 2-0 in April 2026. Álvaro Arbeloa’s visitors arrive without a single point in the league, which is why the early pressure is weighing particularly heavily on them.
Liverpool sits in sixth place with five points, tied with Brentford and Newcastle. In this tightly packed early-season standings, a win would be immediately valuable, but for Fulham, the need for a result is even more urgent.

Liverpool Form & Record Check
Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid has been their most encouraging performance under Iraola so far, as the team came back after conceding the first goal and showed quality at the decisive moment. Dominik Szoboszlai equalized before Alexis Mac Allister scored the winning goal. Ryan Gravenberch replaced Mac Allister in the 69th minute.
Vitezslav Jaros, Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, and Hugo Ekitiké are out, limiting Iraola’s options in goal, on defense, and on offense. In the projected starting lineup, Alexander Isak could still serve as the central focal point in the attack, while the coach must weigh the workload following the midweek fixture.

Tom Cairney is out, which limits the options in midfield. Sander Berge replaced Palacios against Palace in the 61st minute and could provide more defensive cover if he starts.
