Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Liverpool return to Anfield on 12 September 2026 for a Premier League clash with Fulham that already carries weight at both ends of the table. The hosts sit 6th after three rounds with 5 points and a +2 goal difference, looking to turn a solid unbeaten start into a sustained push towards the top four. Fulham arrive in starkly different shape: 19th, pointless, and with the early warning signs of another relegation battle.

With Liverpool scoring freely (6 goals in 3 matches) and Fulham leaking at the back (7 conceded), this fixture has all the ingredients of an open contest. Historical head-to-head trends at Anfield also lean strongly towards the Reds, adding intrigue for both tactical analysis and betting angles. For those studying Liverpool vs Fulham predictions and betting tips, this matchup offers a clear favourite but also some interesting value markets around goals and individual performers.

Played at the iconic Anfield in Liverpool, this Regular Season – 4 encounter will test whether Liverpool’s new attacking core can maintain their early momentum, and whether Fulham can stabilise defensively enough to avoid being cut adrift so early in the campaign.

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 (tournament statistics); Fulham 0 (tournament statistics)

The early table underlines the gap between these sides. Liverpool have taken 5 points from a possible 9, remaining unbeaten with one win and two draws. Their attack has been consistent, scoring exactly 2 goals in each of their three matches, while the defence has been reasonably solid with only 4 conceded in total.

Fulham, by contrast, have lost all three of their opening fixtures. While they have shown some attacking threat with 4 goals, their defence has been porous, conceding 6 at home and 1 away. A goal difference of -3 and no clean sheets highlight the fragility that has left them in the relegation zone at this early stage. On current evidence, Liverpool should be targeting three points to keep pace with the leading pack, while Fulham are in urgent need of a statement result to halt their slide.

Liverpool vs Fulham Key Matchups

A. Isak vs Joshua King

Alexander Isak has hit the ground running for Liverpool. In 3 Premier League appearances, the attacker has scored 3 goals, averaging a goal every 81 minutes. He has taken 7 shots with 5 on target, underlining his efficiency in front of goal, and holds a strong rating of 7.77. His link play is tidy too, with 36 completed passes at 83% accuracy and 2 key passes, making him more than just a finisher.

For Fulham, Joshua King has emerged as a key figure from midfield. He has 2 goals in 3 appearances, playing every available minute (270) and posting a solid 7.01 rating. With 6 shots (3 on target), 109 passes at 83% accuracy, and 3 key passes, he is both creator and scorer for Fulham. Defensively, his 5 tackles, 2 blocks and 1 interception show his all-round contribution. This duel pits Liverpool’s primary goal threat against Fulham’s box-to-box engine; if King cannot help Fulham control transitions, Isak will find plenty of opportunities in and around the box.

C. Gakpo vs Fulham’s back line

Cody Gakpo has been one of Liverpool’s standout performers in the early weeks. From midfield, he has 1 goal and a league-leading 3 assists in 3 appearances, with a 7.7 rating. He has produced 8 key passes from 88 total passes at 84% accuracy, and added defensive work with 6 tackles, 1 block and 5 interceptions. His ability to drift into pockets and thread passes between the lines will severely test a Fulham defence that has already conceded 7 goals and has no clean sheets.

Fulham’s defenders, including experienced names like J. Andersen and C. Bassey, will have to track Gakpo’s movement and close down his passing lanes. Given Fulham’s average of 2.3 goals conceded per game and Liverpool’s varied attacking threats, containing Gakpo’s creativity is essential if the visitors are to leave Anfield with anything.

Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction

All indicators point towards Liverpool controlling this match. They are unbeaten, scoring 2 goals in every league game so far, and boast superior attacking and defensive metrics. The comparison model strongly favours Liverpool in form, attack and defence, and the Poisson index is overwhelmingly in their favour.

Fulham’s main hope lies in their ability to score; they have found the net in two of their three matches and have players like Joshua King capable of producing moments. However, their defensive record and the step up in quality at Anfield make an upset unlikely. The prediction model gives Liverpool a 45% chance of winning, the draw also at 45%, and Fulham only 10%. That high draw figure reflects Liverpool’s early tendency to share points, but with Fulham struggling, this feels like a spot where the home side should edge a relatively open contest.

Predicted Score: Liverpool 2-1 Fulham

Liverpool Recent Form

Liverpool’s recent Premier League form reads WDD. They opened with two draws before securing a win, reflecting a side that has been hard to beat but still ironing out defensive details. Across those 3 matches they have scored 6 goals (2.0 per game) and conceded 4 (1.3 per game), with one clean sheet. The attack is clicking, with multiple contributors, and the underlying numbers suggest a team trending upwards.

Fulham Recent Form

Fulham’s recent form is LLL, a worrying sequence of three straight defeats. They have scored 4 goals in those matches (1.3 per game) but conceded 7 (2.3 per game), with no clean sheets and one match in which they failed to score. The pattern is of a side that can threaten going forward, especially at home, but is too open and vulnerable at the back to close out games.

Liverpool Possible Starting Lineup

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

Liverpool have ample depth across the pitch, with Alisson Becker anchoring the side from goal and Virgil van Dijk likely marshalling the back line alongside R. Araújo and M. Kerkez, who has been heavily involved and already picked up two yellow cards. In midfield, A. Mac Allister and W. Endo provide balance, while C. Gakpo and F. Wirtz add creativity and forward thrust. Up front, A. Isak is the focal point, supported by options such as F. Chiesa, B. Barcola and others from the bench. The prevalent 4-2-3-1 shape used in all three league matches fits this personnel well, allowing Liverpool to dominate possession and create overloads between the lines.

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: Kevin, Rodrigo Muniz.

Fulham have also favoured a 4-2-3-1 setup in their opening fixtures. B. Leno brings experience in goal, while J. Andersen and C. Bassey should form the core of the defence, with full-backs T. Castagne and A. Robinson tasked with both defensive solidity and supporting attacks. In midfield, S. Berge and T. Cairney offer control, while Joshua King is the key two-way presence, driving from midfield and contributing goals. A. Iwobi and attackers such as Kevin and Rodrigo Muniz provide the cutting edge. The challenge for this lineup at Anfield will be maintaining compactness without sacrificing the attacking spark that King and Iwobi bring.

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 Fulham only 10%, with the Reds unbeaten (WDD) and Fulham on three straight losses. The market strongly agrees: home odds range from 1.40 to 1.48, implying an approximate probability between 67.6% (1 ÷ 1.48 × 100) and 71.4% (1 ÷ 1.40 × 100). That makes Liverpool a clear favourite at Anfield.
• Goals Tip: Over 2.5 total goals. Liverpool’s matches average 3.3 goals (6 scored, 4 conceded in 3 games), while Fulham’s average is also around 3.3 (4 scored, 7 conceded). Recent H2H clashes at Anfield have often been high-scoring, including a 4-3 and multiple 2-2 draws in recent seasons. With both teams showing attacking intent and defensive vulnerabilities, a goal-heavy game is likely. (Use prevailing over/under odds from your preferred bookmaker.)
• Value Tip: A. Isak to score anytime. Isak has 3 goals in 3 appearances, with 5 of his 7 shots on target and a strong 7.77 rating. He is clearly central to Liverpool’s attacking plan. Against a Fulham defence conceding 2.3 goals per match and yet to keep a clean sheet, backing Isak in the goalscorer market offers attractive value compared to the shorter match result price. (Check current goalscorer odds with your bookmaker for exact pricing.)
