Liverpool welcome Fulham to Anfield on Saturday, September 12, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 local time. The Premier League fixture brings together two teams whose opening results have created contrasting moods. Liverpool sit seventh after taking five points from three league matches, while Fulham are 19th following three consecutive defeats. The hosts enter the contest unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions and boosted by a midweek European victory. Fulham, meanwhile, urgently need a positive result to halt their difficult start under Alvaro Arbeloa. Recent meetings suggest the visitors cannot be dismissed, but the current league statistics and Liverpool’s improving attack give the home side an important advantage.

Liverpool Recent Form and Key Statistics

Liverpool have collected three wins and two draws from their last five matches, scoring an average of 2.0 goals per game while conceding 1.0. Their latest result was a 2-1 victory over Atlético de Madrid on September 9, continuing an encouraging sequence after their 2-0 league win against Ipswich Town. Andoni Iraola’s team have started the Premier League season with one win and two draws, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.3 conceded.

The Reds have consistently found the net in league competition, scoring at least once in each of their last 20 Premier League matches. Their games have also regularly produced multiple goals: the last 17 Liverpool fixtures have all featured over 1.5 total goals, as have their last 14 Premier League games. At Anfield, over 1.5 goals have landed in 16 consecutive matches and in each of their previous 10 home league fixtures.

Despite those attacking numbers, Liverpool are still searching for their first home league victory of the new campaign. Their last three Premier League matches at Anfield all ended in draws, which may offer Fulham some encouragement. Liverpool have nevertheless been dependable before the interval on this ground, avoiding a half-time deficit in 19 of their last 20 home matches. They have led at the break in 12 of the last 19 fixtures at Anfield and in eight of their previous 13 home league games.

Alexander Isak is emerging as an influential figure in the home attack. He has been involved in four goals across the team’s last three matches and has already scored three times in the league, matching his total from 14 appearances last season. He also supplied an assist in the previous game and has registered nine league shots with an xG figure of 2.29. Alexis Mac Allister arrives after scoring the midweek winner, while the availability of Bradley Barcola is uncertain after he limped off following an hour against Atlético de Madrid.

Fulham Recent Form and Key Statistics

Fulham travel to Anfield after losing 3-2 against Crystal Palace on September 5. Their last five matches have brought two wins and three defeats, with an average of 1.6 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. Their Premier League record is more concerning: three games, three losses, an average of 1.3 goals scored and 2.3 conceded per match.

Alvaro Arbeloa therefore returns to a club he represented as a player with his current side under considerable pressure. Fulham have alternated between draws and defeats across their last six away league matches, and their most recent Premier League trip ended in a loss. However, the visitors have managed one win and two draws in their last four meetings with Liverpool, giving them evidence that they can compete in this fixture.

The Cottagers have four victories across their last 15 competitive matches, only one fewer than Liverpool recorded over the equivalent sequence. Arbeloa is confirmed to be without Tom Cairney and Luc De Fougerolles, who are both recovering from knee injuries. Beyond those absences, Fulham are largely unchanged, but reversing a run of three straight league defeats at Anfield remains a demanding assignment.

Liverpool vs Fulham Match Analysis

The recent head-to-head record contains enough balance to make this an intriguing Premier League match preview. Across the last five meetings, Liverpool have recorded two wins, Fulham one, and two games have finished level. Liverpool have averaged 2.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded in that sequence. The latest encounter, played on April 11, 2026, ended in a 2-0 Liverpool victory.

Goals appear likely to play a major role. Both teams scored in the second half in nine of Liverpool’s last 15 Premier League games, while Fulham’s three league fixtures this season have produced averages of 1.3 goals for and 2.3 against. Liverpool’s long run of matches featuring over 1.5 goals further supports the prospect of an open contest. The supplied probabilities place both teams to score at 54% and over 2.5 goals at 55%.

Liverpool’s current momentum is the clearest difference between the sides. The hosts are unbeaten in five, have won three of those matches and have scored in 20 consecutive Premier League fixtures. Fulham have lost all three of their league games and arrive after conceding three against Crystal Palace. Although Liverpool’s sequence of home draws warns against expecting a routine afternoon, their attacking form and Fulham’s defensive average make the Reds the stronger proposition. The match probabilities give Liverpool a 58% chance of winning, compared with 23% for a draw and 20% for a Fulham victory.
