Liverpool look to snap a three-match losing streak when Fulham visit Anfield on Saturday evening.
The Reds currently occupy fifth place but face intense pressure from the chasing pack. Arne Slot’s side recently suffered a 2–0 Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain. Now, they must refocus on securing a top-five Premier League finish.
Liverpool are winless in their last three league meetings against the Cottagers. Notably, only once have they endured a longer winless run in this fixture.
Fulham arrive at Anfield just five points behind the hosts in the table. Marco Silva’s side have won three of their previous five league outings. They remain in contention for a European qualification spot this season.
A victory would see them close the gap on the Champions League positions. Fulham have scored 13 goals in seven games against Liverpool since 2022. Significantly, both sides have scored at least twice in their last three meetings.
Last Meeting: Fulham 2–2 Liverpool (3 January 2026, Premier League)
Arne Slot manages several injury concerns following the midweek trip to France. Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, and Wataru Endo remain definitely sidelined. However, Alexander Isak is available after returning as a substitute in Paris. Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez face late fitness tests before the match. Notably, Florian Wirtz has created 47 open-play chances, the second-most in the league.
Fulham are missing Kenny Tete and Harrison Reed due to ankle and knee issues. However, Calvin Bassey is expected to be fit to start in central defence. Former Liverpool winger Harry Wilson is in fine form for the visitors. He has been involved in 16 goals for the Cottagers this season. Raúl Jiménez is also pushing for a recall to the starting lineup today.
Liverpool have struggled since matchday six, losing more league games than they have won. They rank 20th for high-intensity pressures applied in the middle third this season. Notably, the Reds have conceded 18 goals in the final 20 minutes of games. That figure represents more late goals conceded than any other top-flight club.
The Cottagers have won three of their last five matches to climb to ninth. Fulham have proven dangerous late on, scoring 18 goals in the final 20 minutes. Only Bournemouth and Manchester United have won more points from losing positions in 2026. Significantly, Fulham have won only twice in 32 league visits to Anfield.
Liverpool Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Mamardashvili; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Jones; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike
Fulham Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, King, Bobb; Jimenez
