Match preview
Anfield under the lights, Liverpool against Fulham — and the Cottagers have every reason to believe they can make this uncomfortable. Liverpool will expect a big response from their home crowd, but Fulham have become an awkward opponent for plenty of Premier League sides. On paper it looks like a classic heavyweight-versus-underdog contest; on the pitch, it could be anything but straightforward. The match is scheduled for Saturday 12 September at 3pm.
Recent form
Liverpool’s opening weeks have already provided a bit of everything. A 2-2 draw at Newcastle got their campaign moving, with a late penalty rescuing a point, before their attention turned to home advantage at Anfield. Fulham arrive knowing that this is exactly the sort of fixture where a disciplined performance could turn into a huge result.
Head-to-head
Liverpool have generally had the better of this fixture, but Fulham have proved capable of ruining the script. The most recent meeting at Anfield finished 2-0 to Liverpool, with Rio Ngumoha making history by becoming the youngest player to score at the stadium. Liverpool have also scored at least twice in each of the last five meetings between the sides — so there could be goals in this one.
Why fans are watching
Liverpool have the famous stadium, the expectation and the spotlight. Fulham have the opportunity to play spoiler. Can the Cottagers silence Anfield and pull off a result that would turn heads across the Premier League? Or will Liverpool make home advantage count and put on a show? Forget what the bookies think — who does the world WANT to win?
