Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction: Key Stats, Lineups and Betting Tips

Liverpool return to Anfield on 12 September 2026 looking to consolidate a solid start to the Premier League campaign against a Fulham side already under early-season pressure. With 5 points from their opening 3 matches and unbeaten so far, Liverpool sit 6th, while Fulham arrive on Merseyside 19th, pointless and with defensive issues to address.

Anfield has been a difficult venue for Fulham in recent years, and the historical head-to-head reinforces Liverpool’s status as clear favourites. However, recent meetings have often been competitive and high scoring, which will interest bettors assessing Liverpool vs Fulham predictions, goal markets and player-focused betting angles.

With Liverpool averaging 2 goals per game and Fulham both scoring and conceding freely, this fixture shapes up as one of the more attractive attacking matchups of the weekend. The stakes are clear: Liverpool are targeting a win to stay in touch with the early leaders, while Fulham desperately need a result to halt a three-game losing streak and climb away from the relegation places.

Liverpool vs Fulham Key Stats

• Liverpool are 6th with 5 points from 3 matches, unbeaten with 1 win and 2 draws and a 6:4 goal difference.
• The most recent meeting at Anfield on 11 April 2026 ended Liverpool 2-0 Fulham in the Premier League.
• Across their 3 league matches this season, Liverpool have scored 6 goals (2.0 per game) and conceded 4 (1.3 per game), keeping 1 clean sheet in their tournament statistics.

Liverpool vs Fulham — Tale of the Tape

• Position: 6 vs 19
• Points: 5 vs 0
• Goals For: 6 vs 4
• Goals Against: 4 vs 7
• Clean Sheets: Liverpool 1, Fulham 0 (tournament statistics)

The early standings underline the contrast between these two sides. Liverpool, in 6th, have started steadily: 1 win and 2 draws from 3 games, with 6 goals scored and 4 conceded. They have already shown attacking balance, scoring both home and away, and remain unbeaten with a positive goal difference.

Fulham, by contrast, sit 19th with 0 points from 3 matches and a -3 goal difference (4 scored, 7 conceded). They have lost both home games and their sole away fixture, and are currently listed in the relegation zone. While they are averaging 1.3 goals per match, the 2.3 goals conceded per game is a serious concern heading into a trip to Anfield.

Liverpool vs Fulham Key Matchups

A. Isak vs Joshua King

Alexander Isak has hit the ground running for Liverpool. In 3 Premier League appearances, he has scored 3 goals, averaging a goal per game and playing 244 minutes. He has taken 7 shots with 5 on target, underlining his efficiency, and also contributes in build-up with 36 completed passes at 83% accuracy. His physical profile and duel numbers (18 duels, 9 won) make him a constant threat in and around the box.

For Fulham, Joshua King has been a rare bright spot. The 18-year-old midfielder has 2 goals in 3 appearances, playing every minute (270) so far. He has taken 6 shots with 3 on target and completed 109 passes at 83% accuracy, with 3 key passes. Defensively, he has 5 tackles, 2 blocks and 1 interception, showing box-to-box qualities. The battle between Isak’s penalty-box presence and King’s ability to drive Fulham forward will be crucial: if King cannot help Fulham retain the ball and relieve pressure, Isak will enjoy a steady supply of chances.

C. Gakpo vs Fulham back line

Cody Gakpo has emerged as Liverpool’s creative hub in the early weeks. In 3 matches and 251 minutes, he has 1 goal and 3 assists, leading the Premier League assist charts. He has produced 8 key passes from 88 total passes at 84% accuracy, and his dribbling (7 attempts, 4 successful) and strong duel output (32 duels, 16 won) show how hard he is to contain between the lines.

Fulham’s defence, which has conceded 7 goals in 3 games and has yet to keep a clean sheet, will have to track Gakpo’s movement carefully. Their tournament statistics show 3.0 goals conceded per home game and 1.0 away, with a tendency to concede in multiple time windows. If the back four struggle to step out and close Gakpo, Liverpool’s attackers like Isak and wide forwards will find space in dangerous areas.

Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction

All the indicators point towards Liverpool controlling this game. They are unbeaten, scoring 2.0 goals per match, and have not failed to score yet. Fulham, meanwhile, have lost all three fixtures, concede 2.3 goals per match, and have no clean sheets. The comparison model heavily favours Liverpool across form, attack and defence, and the Poisson index is overwhelmingly in their favour.

The win-probability model gives Liverpool a 45% chance of victory, with the draw also at 45% and Fulham at just 10%. That suggests a strong expectation that Liverpool avoid defeat, backed up by the “win or draw” advice. Given Liverpool’s attacking numbers and Fulham’s defensive frailty, the likely match flow is sustained Liverpool pressure, with Fulham trying to counter and rely on Joshua King and their midfield to create chances.

Predicted Score: Liverpool 2-1 Fulham

Liverpool Recent Form

Liverpool’s recent form is steady rather than spectacular. In their 3 Premier League matches, they have 1 win and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten. They average 2.0 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game, with one clean sheet and no matches without scoring. Their biggest away win so far is 0-2, and they have shown the ability to score in different phases of matches, with goals spread across the first and second halves.

Fulham Recent Form

Fulham’s form is worrying. They have lost all 3 of their league matches (2 at home, 1 away), scoring 4 and conceding 7. While they have managed to find the net in two of those games, their defensive record — 3.0 goals conceded per home game and 1.0 away — underlines a fragile back line. They have yet to keep a clean sheet and have already failed to score once, indicating inconsistency in attack as well.

Liverpool Possible Starting Lineup

GK: Alisson Becker; Defenders: J. Gomez, V. van Dijk, R. Araújo, M. Kerkez; Midfielders: A. Mac Allister, R. Gravenberch, C. Gakpo, D. Szoboszlai, F. Wirtz; Forwards: A. Isak.

Liverpool have consistently used a 4-2-3-1 shape in their tournament statistics, and the squad profile supports that: a strong central defensive pairing in Virgil van Dijk and Ronald Araújo, energetic full-backs like M. Kerkez, and a technically gifted midfield featuring A. Mac Allister, R. Gravenberch and creators such as C. Gakpo and F. Wirtz. Up front, A. Isak leads the line as the primary goal threat. There are no confirmed absences listed, giving Liverpool depth and flexibility in how they structure their attacking quartet.

Fulham Possible Starting Lineup

GK: B. Leno; Defenders: T. Castagne, J. Andersen, C. Bassey, A. Robinson; Midfielders: S. Berge, T. Cairney, Joshua King, A. Iwobi; Forwards: Rodrigo Muniz, Kevin.

Fulham have also lined up in a 4-2-3-1 across their 3 league games. With experienced defenders like J. Andersen and A. Robinson, they have the personnel to be more solid than their early numbers suggest, but the unit has not yet gelled. In midfield, S. Berge and T. Cairney provide control, while Joshua King operates as an advanced midfielder with licence to join attacks. Up front, Rodrigo Muniz and Kevin offer movement, but service and defensive balance will be critical if Fulham are to avoid being overrun at Anfield.

Betting Tips: Liverpool vs Fulham

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

• Result Tip: Back Liverpool to win. The prediction model gives Liverpool a 45% chance of victory and just 10% for Fulham, with Liverpool unbeaten and Fulham on a three-game losing streak. The market strongly agrees: home odds range from 1.40 to 1.48, implying an approximate probability band of 67.6% to 71.4%. That makes Liverpool a justified heavy favourite at Anfield.
• Goals Tip: Over 2.5 goals. Liverpool’s matches average 3.3 total goals (6 scored, 4 conceded across 3 games), while Fulham’s average is also 3.7 (4 scored, 7 conceded). Recent head-to-heads have been high scoring, with scorelines like 3-2, 2-2 and 3-1. With both teams showing attacking intent and defensive vulnerabilities, the over-goals market is an attractive angle, though specific odds for totals are not listed here.
• Value Tip: A. Isak to score anytime. Isak has 3 goals in 3 appearances, with 5 of his 7 shots on target, and is clearly Liverpool’s focal point in attack. Fulham have yet to keep a clean sheet and concede 2.3 goals per game. While player-goals odds are not provided, this profile suggests the anytime scorer market on Isak is a strong value consideration relative to Liverpool’s heavy favourite status in the match-winner odds.
