Fulham vs Liverpool Preview

Fulham welcome Liverpool to Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon for what promises to be an intriguing Premier League encounter between two sides showing contrasting recent form. Fulham arrive having drawn 1-1 away at Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day, a result that extended their unbeaten run to three matches. Prior to that, they secured a vital 1-0 away victory at West Ham United, demonstrating their resilience on the road. Earlier in this sequence, Fulham claimed a 1-0 home win over Nottingham Forest, suffered a 2-1 defeat away at Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup, and edged a thrilling 3-2 away encounter at Burnley. This run showcases Fulham’s ability to grind out results, particularly in away fixtures, though their home form will be crucial against title-chasing opposition.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have been in commanding form, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches with four victories and one draw. Their most recent outing saw them held to a 0-0 draw at home to Leeds United, ending a four-match winning streak. In their previous fixture, they secured a 2-1 home triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Earlier results include a 2-1 away victory at Tottenham Hotspur, a 2-0 home success against Brighton & Hove Albion, and a 1-0 away win at Internazionale in the Champions League. Liverpool’s ability to win both home and away, combined with their defensive solidity, makes them formidable opponents for any side in the division. Their attacking prowess has been consistent, though the draw against Leeds will serve as a reminder that even the best teams can be frustrated on their day.

The head-to-head record shows an evenly contested rivalry, with Liverpool claiming two victories from the last five meetings alongside two draws and one Fulham win. Most recently, Fulham stunned Liverpool with a 3-2 home victory in April 2025, one of the season’s surprise results. The sides also drew 2-2 at Anfield in December 2024. Liverpool secured a 3-1 away win at Craven Cottage in April 2024 and a 2-1 home triumph in January 2024, while the teams also drew 1-1 in a Carabao Cup encounter in January 2024.

This fixture carries significant implications for both sides. For Fulham, hosting one of the league’s strongest teams represents an opportunity to prove their credentials against elite opposition and build on their recent positive results. Their defensive organization and counter-attacking threat could trouble Liverpool, particularly given their success in this fixture last season. For Liverpool, this represents a test of their title credentials and their ability to break down well-organized opposition away from home. The visitors will be eager to return to winning ways following their stalemate with Leeds and maintain pressure at the top of the table.

The tactical battle should prove fascinating, with Fulham likely to adopt a compact defensive shape and look to exploit spaces on the counter-attack, while Liverpool will aim to dominate possession and create openings through patient build-up play. Set-pieces could prove crucial, as could the ability of both teams to capitalize on any defensive lapses. The atmosphere at Craven Cottage will be electric, with the home supporters desperate to see their team replicate last season’s memorable victory over the Merseyside giants.
