Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Liverpool welcome Fulham to Anfield on 12 September 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 4, with the hosts looking to consolidate a solid unbeaten start and the visitors desperate to halt an early-season slide. Anfield has already seen goals this campaign, and with both sides involved in high-scoring games so far, another open contest looks likely.

After three rounds, Liverpool sit 6th with 5 points, unbeaten with one win and two draws and a +2 goal difference (6 scored, 4 conceded). Fulham, by contrast, are 19th with no points, three straight defeats and a -3 goal difference (4 scored, 7 conceded), already tagged in the table with a relegation warning. The stakes are clear: Liverpool need to keep pace with the early frontrunners, while Fulham must prove they can compete away at one of the league’s toughest venues.

Stats suggest a strong home advantage and a clash of trajectories: Liverpool’s double chance (win or draw) is heavily favoured, while Fulham arrive on the back of three losses but with some attacking threat still evident. With historical head-to-heads also leaning towards Liverpool at Anfield, this fixture shapes up as a key reference point for both clubs’ early-season ambitions.

Liverpool vs Fulham Key Stats

• Liverpool are 6th with 5 points from 3 matches (1 win, 2 draws, 0 defeats, 6:4 goals), while Fulham are 19th with 0 points from 3 matches (0 wins, 0 draws, 3 defeats, 4:7 goals).
• In their most recent meeting at Anfield on 11 April 2026 in the Premier League, Liverpool beat Fulham 2-0.
• In 2026 Premier League statistics, Liverpool average 2.0 goals scored per game and have kept 1 clean sheet in 3 matches, while Fulham average 1.3 goals scored and 2.3 conceded with 0 clean sheets.

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 the two sides. Liverpool’s 5 points from 3 fixtures, with 6 goals scored and only 4 conceded, reflect a team that is creating regularly and, crucially, yet to lose. Their home record so far reads 2-2 from a single outing at Anfield, while they have taken 4 points from two away matches, highlighting a balanced start.

Fulham, meanwhile, are under immediate pressure. Three defeats from three, with 4 goals scored and 7 conceded, place them 19th. At home they have lost both games (4 scored, 6 conceded), and their only away trip ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their goal difference of -3 and absence of any clean sheets in 2026 Premier League play suggest structural issues defensively, which is a concern heading into Anfield against a side averaging 2.0 goals per match.

Liverpool vs Fulham Key Matchups

A. Isak vs Joshua King

Alexander Isak has hit the ground running for Liverpool. In 3 Premier League appearances (all starts, 244 minutes), he has scored 3 goals, averaging a goal every 81 minutes. With 7 shots and 5 on target, his finishing efficiency is high, and a rating of 7.77 underlines his influence. He also contributes in build-up with 36 passes at 83% accuracy and has won half of his 18 duels.

For Fulham, Joshua King has been a rare bright spot. The 18-year-old midfielder has started all 3 matches, playing the full 270 minutes and scoring 2 of Fulham’s 4 league goals. He has taken 6 shots (3 on target), created 3 key passes from 109 total passes at 83% accuracy, and chipped in defensively with 5 tackles, 2 blocks and 1 interception. This duel pits Liverpool’s primary finisher against Fulham’s most productive and hard-working midfielder; if King cannot disrupt supply into Isak, Fulham’s back line could be exposed again.

C. Gakpo vs Fulham midfield unit

Cody Gakpo has been one of Liverpool’s standout performers. In 3 appearances (all starts, 251 minutes), he has 1 goal and 3 assists, directly contributing to two-thirds of Liverpool’s 6 league goals. His creative numbers are impressive: 88 passes at 84% accuracy, 8 key passes and 7 dribble attempts with 4 successful. Defensively, he adds 6 tackles, 1 block and 5 interceptions, making him a complete two-way midfielder.

Fulham’s midfield collectively will need to contain Gakpo’s influence between the lines. With Fulham conceding 7 goals in 3 games and failing to keep a clean sheet, any space afforded to a player with Gakpo’s passing range and dribbling threat could be decisive. His link-up with Isak is likely to be a central storyline at Anfield.

Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction

Everything points towards Liverpool controlling territory and possession at Anfield. Their recent form is steady rather than spectacular, but an unbeaten run of WDD, 6 goals scored and only 4 conceded, combined with strong attacking metrics (2.0 goals per match and no games without scoring), makes them clear favourites. Fulham arrive on the back of three straight defeats, conceding an average of 2.3 goals per game and failing to score in their only away outing.

The prediction model assigns Liverpool a 45% chance of winning, the draw also 45%, and Fulham just 10%. The advice is a double chance in favour of Liverpool or draw, reflecting Liverpool’s strong underlying numbers and Fulham’s poor form. Comparison indices also heavily favour Liverpool in form, attack and defence, while a Poisson-based index gives them a dominant edge.

Given Fulham’s ability to find the net (4 goals in 3 games) but their defensive frailty, a home win in a moderately high-scoring match looks the likeliest scenario. Liverpool’s forward line, led by Isak and supported by Gakpo, should create enough to break down a Fulham side still searching for defensive stability.

Predicted Score: Liverpool 2-1 Fulham

Liverpool Recent Form

Liverpool’s recent Premier League form reads WDD. Across 3 matches they have taken 5 points, scoring 6 goals (2.0 per game) and conceding 4 (1.3 per game). They have yet to lose, kept 1 clean sheet, and have scored in every fixture, with goals spread across early, middle and late phases of matches.

Fulham Recent Form

Fulham’s recent form is LLL. They have lost all 3 league matches so far, scoring 4 goals (1.3 per game) but conceding 7 (2.3 per game). They have not kept a clean sheet and failed to score in their only away game, highlighting both defensive vulnerability and inconsistency in attack on the road.

Liverpool Possible Starting Lineup

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

Liverpool have a deep squad with multiple options in every line. Alisson Becker is the established number one, while Virgil van Dijk and R. Araújo provide power and aerial dominance at the back, with M. Kerkez contributing aggressively from full-back despite already collecting 2 yellow cards. In midfield, W. Endo and A. Mac Allister can anchor the centre, allowing creative forces like C. Gakpo and F. Wirtz to operate higher up. Up front, A. Isak is the focal point, already with 3 league goals. The prevalent 4-2-3-1 shape, used in all three league fixtures, offers balance between control and vertical threat.

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 favoured a 4-2-3-1 structure in 2026. B. Leno brings experience in goal, with J. Andersen and C. Bassey likely to form the central defensive pairing. Full-backs T. Castagne and A. Robinson will be key in both defending Liverpool’s wide threats and offering width in transition. In midfield, S. Berge and T. Cairney can provide control and passing range, while Joshua King operates as the advanced midfielder, carrying much of the creative and goal-scoring burden so far. In attack, Rodrigo Muniz and Kevin offer movement and finishing, but they will need better service and support to trouble Liverpool at Anfield.

Betting Tips: Liverpool vs Fulham

Below are three betting angles based on current form, head-to-head trends and available odds.

• Result Tip: Back Liverpool to win. The prediction model gives Liverpool a 45% win probability and Fulham only 10%, with Liverpool unbeaten (WDD) and Fulham on three straight losses. Match Winner odds on the home side range from 1.40 to 1.48, implying an approximate probability between 67.6% and 71.4%, underlining Liverpool as a strong favourite.
• Goals Tip: Over 2.5 total goals. Liverpool’s matches average 3.3 goals (6 for, 4 against in 3 games), while Fulham’s also average 3.7 (4 for, 7 against). Recent head-to-heads have been high scoring, with scorelines like 3-2, 2-2 and 3-1. With both teams showing attacking intent but Fulham leaky at the back, an over-goals angle is justified. Use the over/under market from your chosen bookmaker at the prevailing price.
• Value Tip: A. Isak to score anytime. Isak has 3 goals in 3 appearances, with 5 shots on target from 7 attempts and a strong overall rating of 7.77. He is clearly Liverpool’s main goal threat. While specific player odds are not listed here, markets often underestimate early-season form strikers; any competitive anytime-scorer price on Isak could offer value relative to his current output.
