Liverpool look to build winning momentum

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 5:00 PM, Liverpool will host Fulham at the legendary Anfield stadium. The match is part of matchday 4 of the 2026/2027 Premier League season. Tom Bramall will be the referee for the clash.

Andoni Iraola's Liverpool side had a shaky start to the new Premier League season but are gradually finding their rhythm. In the last round, the Reds secured a 2-0 away win against Ipswich, following 2-2 draws against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest in their first two matches. With 5 points (1 win, 2 draws, and a goal difference of 6:4), the Reds sit 6th in the current standings. Midweek, Liverpool also achieved a crucial 2-1 victory in the Champions League against Atlético Madrid, extending their unbeaten streak to six consecutive matches across all competitions as they look to continue their upward trend.

Fulham, under the management of Álvaro Arbeloa, are in a crisis in the league. The Londoners have suffered three defeats in their first three matches – 2-3 against Chelsea, 0-1 against Sunderland, and 2-3 against Crystal Palace. The team occupies 19th place in the relegation zone with no points and a goal difference of 4:7. Their only victory since the start of the campaign came in the Carabao Cup against AFC Wimbledon (3-0).

Last season (2025/2026), the two teams traded a draw and a win. At Anfield, Liverpool won 2-0 in April 2026, while the match in London in January ended 2-2. In their last 6 official encounters, the Reds have 2 wins, Fulham has 1, and 3 matches have ended in a draw.

An interesting statistic shows that Liverpool have scored exactly two goals in each of their last five official matches across all competitions. Meanwhile, Fulham have shown serious defensive problems, conceding 7 goals in their first three league games, although they have managed to find the net themselves.

Liverpool have several players out with injuries. Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, Giovanni Leoni, and Hugo Ekitike will miss the match. However, Andoni Iraola has key figures such as Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak at his disposal.

For the visitors, Fulham's main absentee due to injury is midfielder Tom Cairney. However, Álvaro Arbeloa's team will rely on experienced players like Bernd Leno, Joachim Andersen, Alex Iwobi, and Antonee Robinson in their attempt to cause an upset at Anfield.
