Fulham

Fulham won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 2-1 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Arsenal.

In that game, Fulham managed 48% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Fulham was Rodrigo Muniz (94'). At the other end, Arsenal had 17 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Mikel Merino (37') and Bukayo Saka (73') scored for Arsenal.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Fulham have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Fulham have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 9 goals on the way. Such a pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, though.

Coming into this clash, Fulham have not emerged victorious against Liverpool in their last 5 matches in the league.

Liverpool will go into this match following a 1-0 Premier League win with the downing of Everton in their last fixture.

In that game, Liverpool had 74% possession and 17 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Liverpool was Diogo Jota (57'). On the other side, Everton had 5 shots on goal with 0 of them on target.

A succession of accomplished displays by the Liverpool defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 fixtures combined. During the same period, their forwards have scored 9.

Pre-game facts show that Liverpool:

• have not been beaten by Fulham in games played away from home for the previous 6 matches in the league. An impressive run.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 17 league matches away from home. What a run it has been.

↔️ Head to head

An examination of their past head to head results stretching back to 03/05/2023 tells us that these encounters have ended in disappointment for Fulham. They have not been able to get themselves any wins at all while Liverpool have maintained the edge over them, getting wins in 67 per cent of those ties.

A combined sum of 21 goals were produced between them during those clashes, with 8 of them for The Cottagers and 13 coming from The Reds. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.5.

The last league game featuring these clubs was Premier League match day 16 on 14/12/2024 and the score finished Liverpool 2-2 Fulham.

In that game, Liverpool had 61% possession and 16 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The goals were scored by Cody Gakpo (47') and Diogo Jota (86').

Fulham got 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Andreas Pereira (11') and Rodrigo Muniz (76') scored.

The referee was Tony Harrington.

🗞️ Team News: Fulham

Harry Wilson (Broken foot) and Reiss Nelson (Hamstring injury) will be missing for Fulham boss Marco Silva.

In our view, The Cottagers could opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game and select Bernd Leno, Timothy Castagne, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Sasa Lukic, Sander Berge, Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Willian and Raul Jimenez.

📋 Team News: Liverpool

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has multiple availability issues to deal with. Alisson (concussion), Tyler Morton (Shoulder injury), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Ankle injury) and Joe Gomez (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that The Reds seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.

🔮 Prediction

Our feeling is that Fulham will surely be able to find the net against this Liverpool outfit, although one goal might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see both teams to score in a 1-2 winning score for Liverpool by the conclusion of the game. Let’s see what happens here.
