Analysis and prediction for Fulham vs Liverpool: Consolidating their top spot.

Latest Fulham vs Liverpool team news

Liverpool have plenty of options in midfield and attack, but their defense is facing difficulties as both Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Trent Alexander-Arnold – who is set to move to Real Madrid – (ankle) are still unavailable.

Defender Conor Bradley will need a final fitness test to determine his availability for the match after a thigh injury. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is in a similar situation, having not yet completed his final test in his concussion recovery process before the Merseyside derby, according to manager Slot.

Furthermore, Liverpool face no further squad constraints. Mohamed Salah – a strong contender for the Golden Boot – despite not performing particularly well in the recent derby, still has a chance to set a new Premier League record.

The Egyptian star has been directly involved in at least two goals in his last four away Premier League games. If he continues this form at Craven Cottage, he will become the first player to achieve that feat in five consecutive away games.

Meanwhile, Fulham could welcome back Kenny Tete (knee injury), but will still be without two key players: former Liverpool player Harry Wilson (foot) and Reiss Nelson (thigh), who has returned to Arsenal for treatment.

Manager Silva is likely to abandon the ineffective three-defender formation used at the Emirates and revert to his familiar 4-2-3-1 system – even though this opponent is more formidable. Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon, who combined to create Fulham's goal midweek, both have a chance to start this match.

Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Liverpool

Just before the first international break of 2025, everything seemed to be going against Liverpool as their dream of winning the EFL Cup and Champions League double shattered in just a few days. And even in the first half of Wednesday's derby, luck was still not on their side.

However, after Everton defender James Tarkowski was not shown a red card for his rough tackle on Alexis Mac Allister – a decision that PGMOL later admitted was wrong – Diogo Jota showed his killer instinct by securing an emotional victory for the league leaders.

Although they now only have a chance to win one title instead of four as they did a few months ago, Liverpool are still 12 points ahead of Arsenal with only 8 rounds remaining in the season, so their current position as the number one team in England is hardly in dispute.

The shock home defeat to Nottingham Forest in September remains Liverpool's only loss in the Premier League this season. The win against Everton extended their unbeaten run in the league to 26 games, including 15 away matches.

In fact, it has been almost exactly one year since Liverpool last lost away from home in the Premier League – that being their defeat to Everton on April 24, 2024. Slot's side have also scored at least two goals in 13 of their 15 away games this season.

For Fulham, if Liverpool had been more effective in attack at the Emirates, they might have been just two games away from the title. But Marco Silva's side, despite a valiant effort from players like Bernd Leno, Willian, Emile Smith Rowe, and Alex Iwobi, still had to accept defeat in the London derby midweek.

Mikel Merino's somewhat fortunate goal and Bukayo Saka's emotional strike in 2025 made Rodrigo Muniz's late goal less significant.

Nevertheless, that performance was far more encouraging than the painful FA Cup quarter-final defeat against Crystal Palace. The dream of European qualification is still within reach for Fulham, as they are only three points behind the top seven.

However, their inconsistency at home has hurt them in this race. Fulham have alternated wins and losses in their last six matches at Craven Cottage across all competitions and have yet to achieve two consecutive home wins in the Premier League this season.

Fulham's last home win against Liverpool in the Premier League was back in December 2011. However, they fought back to leave Anfield with a 2-2 draw in December – their only point in their last 11 encounters with the league leaders.
