Liverpool take on Fulham at Anfield on Saturday evening (kick-off 5.30pm) and will be hoping to once again turn around their fortunes after back-to-back defeats by Man City in the FA Cup and Paris St Germain in the Champions League.
With confirmation that the top five places in the Premier League qualify for next season’s Champions League, a win is going to be vital if the Reds are going to be guaranteed to be playing in the tournament next season.
We crunch the numbers ahead of today’s game and look at head-to-head stats against the Cottagers…
Liverpool are winless in their last three Premier League games against Fulham (D2 L1). Only once have they had a longer run without a league win against the Cottagers (4 games between 1966 and 1967).
Fulham have won just two of their 32 away league games against Liverpool (D8 L22), winning 1-0 in both May 2012 and March 2021.
Fulham have scored 13 goals in seven Premier League games against Liverpool since their return to the division in 2022 – only Spurs (14) and Brighton (15) have netted more against the Reds in that time.
Both Liverpool and Fulham have scored at least twice in each of their last three Premier League meetings; the only fixtures to see both sides score 2+ four times in a row in the competition are Brighton v Leicester (Sep 2022 to Apr 2025) and Crystal Palace v Man City (Dec 2023 to Apr 2025).
Since (and including) MD6 in the Premier League this season, Liverpool have lost (10) more league games than they’ve won (9), with 11 sides collecting more points in the competition than their 34 in that time.
No side in the Premier League this season has scored more goals in the final 20 minutes of games than Fulham (18, level with Liverpool), while the Reds have conceded 18 in that time, two more than any other side.
Liverpool rank 19th for high-intensity pressures applied in the opponent’s half in the Premier League this season and 20th for high-intensity pressures applied in the middle third, 289 fewer than any other side.
