Liverpool vs Fulham

Liverpool have found their rhythm recently, following up a Premier League win at Ipswich with a victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Their home form has also stabilised, with no defeats in their three most recent outings at Anfield. Conversely, Fulham are struggling for momentum, having lost their last two league appearances against Sunderland and Crystal Palace. Their away record has seen them without a win in their two most recent travels, making this a challenging trip.

The recent history between these two sides is closely contested, with each team securing a victory and two matches ending in draws across their last four encounters. Liverpool successfully defended their home turf in their most recent meeting in April.

• Liverpool have remained unbeaten in their five most recent matches across all competitions.
• Fulham enter the fixture following two successive league losses.
• Liverpool are dealing with a significant number of squad concerns, with four players ruled out and four listed as in doubt.
• Fulham will be without T. Cairney, who is ruled out due to injury.

Liverpool look better placed given their recent unbeaten run and the return of positive results at home. While their squad list shows several players ruled out or in doubt, their current momentum suggests they hold the edge over a Fulham side searching for their first points of the campaign.
