- Recent form: Fulham have won two and lost three of their last five games. Liverpool have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.

Free-hitting Fulham to face Reds’ counter-press
The Reds have secured a win in the Premier League 2026/2027, but Liverpool's win and two draws from their opening three games have put them sixth in the table with five points on the board. Fulham haven't got off to a great start themselves, sitting 18th after three matches with zero points in the league, putting The Cottagers under immediate pressure.
Players to watch
- Alexander Isak is Liverpool's primary threat, netting three goals in as many Premier League 2026/2027 matches.
- Cody Gakpo has also been a threat, providing three assists in three games.
- Fulham will hope that Gonzalo Garcia can be their outlet, who has scored one goal in two Premier League 2026/2027 appearances.
Liverpool to edge out Fulham
Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola has been in charge since 1st July 2026 and his high-pressing 4-2-3-1 looks to be giving the Reds the edge in front of their fans, making them a serious threat in transition. Fulham boss Álvaro Arbeloa has been in place since 8th July 2026 and his wide, possession-based 4-2-3-1/4-3-4 setup comes with an element of aggression.
That could help the Cottagers carve out some opportunities against Liverpool, but the home side's vertical pressing should make it difficult for the visitors to build up play and could be a problem for the more advanced full-backs of Fulham's system. Fulham have lost back-to-back league games after winning their EFL Cup opener, losing 1-0 away to Sunderland and 3-2 at home to Crystal Palace.
The Premier League 2026/2027 Reds have lost one of their five matches since the opening day and the form guide should be enough for the favourites to edge this one.
Anfield may play its part
There's no value in the moneyline market here, so we're sticking with the odds-on favorite Liverpool to take all three points at 1.47.
Fulham are available at 6.0 and the draw at 5.0 and over 2.5 goals looks the sharp alternative, a play that compliments both of these teams' attacking outlooks.
