With last week’s Merseyside Derby against Everton postponed, Liverpool return to Premier League action at the top of the table.
Their position has grown slightly more precarious after rivals Manchester City and Arsenal stumbled, while Chelsea’s impressive form has seen them climb into second place. The Blues have cut Liverpool’s lead to just four points, making the Reds’ game in hand a critical opportunity to maintain their cushion at the summit.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot will likely have welcomed the short break, which followed a hectic period culminating in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle. That dramatic league encounter was followed by a gritty 1-0 victory over Girona, a result that solidified Liverpool’s standing at the top of their UEFA Champions League group. Now, returning to the familiar and formidable surroundings of Anfield, Liverpool will aim to extend a near-perfect home record that includes 12 wins from their last 13 games, during which they’ve kept an impressive eight clean sheets.
Fulham arrive at Anfield with their own narrative to shape. They recently played a pivotal role in the title race by holding Arsenal to a 1-1 draw, denying the Gunners valuable points. The Cottagers have a chance to influence the race yet again, and they’ll take confidence from being one of only four teams to secure a Premier League victory at Anfield since March 2021. That memorable win, however, stands as an anomaly in a lopsided head-to-head record, with Fulham managing just one victory across their last 14 meetings with Liverpool.
Marco Silva’s side will feel buoyed by their overall form this season. Fulham’s 23 points from 15 league matches represent their second-best tally at this stage of a Premier League campaign, bettered only by the 25 points they amassed in 2003/04. However, their away form remains a concern. Of those 23 points, only nine have been earned on the road. Silva, whose personal record against Liverpool stands at a challenging one win from 11 attempts across four different clubs, will need to inspire something special to take points back to West London.
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a key figure in this fixture, having scored in both home and away games against Fulham last season. The dynamic defender showcased his playmaking abilities with two assists against Newcastle in their last league outing. Notably, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League matches in which Alexander-Arnold has scored or assisted, underlining his influence in critical moments.
For Fulham, Raúl Jiménez could prove pivotal. The forward will be eager to add to his tally against Liverpool, having already notched two career goals against the Reds. Jiménez’s knack for striking early could be crucial, as all six of his goals for Fulham this season have opened the scoring in their respective matches. His ability to seize key moments might offer Fulham a glimmer of hope in what promises to be a challenging outing.
Liverpool’s resilience when leading games is a notable statistic. The Reds have lost only one of their last 96 Premier League matches in which they’ve held a lead at any point. This remarkable consistency underscores their ability to manage games effectively once ahead, a quality that could be crucial in a tightly contested title race.
With both teams bringing different motivations and challenges to this match, it promises to be an intriguing encounter. Liverpool will look to solidify their position at the top and capitalize on their game in hand, while Fulham aim to disrupt another title contender’s momentum. The stage is set at Anfield for a clash that could have significant ramifications for both sides’ campaigns.
