Comments and predictions for Fulham vs Liverpool: Consolidating the top spot

Latest Fulham vs Liverpool team information

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

Defender Conor Bradley will need a final fitness test to determine his fitness after a thigh injury. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is also in a similar situation, having not completed the final test in his concussion protocol before the Merseyside derby, according to coach Slot.

In addition, Liverpool do not face any additional obstacles in terms of personnel. Mohamed Salah – a strong candidate for the Golden Boot award – although he did not show much in the recent derby, still has the opportunity to set a new record in the Premier League.

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

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

Silva is likely to ditch the ineffective back three at the Emirates and revert to his usual 4-2-3-1 system – even though the opposition are more formidable this time around. Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon, who combined for Fulham’s goal in midweek, are both in contention to start.

Latest expected lineup for Fulham vs Liverpool

Fulham:
Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Traore, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz

Liverpool:
Alisson; Quansah, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota

Latest Fulham vs Liverpool football commentary

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

However, after Everton defender James Tarkowski was spared a red card for a rough tackle on Alexis Mac Allister – a decision PGMOL later admitted was wrong – Diogo Jota showed his killer instinct to secure an emotional win for the table-toppers.

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

A shock home defeat to Nottingham Forest in September remains Liverpool's only Premier League defeat this season. Victory over Everton extended their unbeaten run in the league to 26, including 15 away games.

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

As for Fulham, if they could have attacked more effectively at the Emirates, Liverpool would have been just two games away from the title. But Marco Silva's team, despite a strong performance with the likes of Bernd Leno, Willian, Emile Smith Rowe and Alex Iwobi, still had to accept defeat in the midweek London derby.

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

Still, that performance was a far more encouraging performance than the painful FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Crystal Palace. The European dream is still alive for Fulham, who are just three points off the top seven.

However, their lack of consistency at home has hurt them in this race. Fulham have alternated wins and losses in their last six games at Craven Cottage in all competitions and have never won two consecutive home games in the Premier League this season.

Fulham's last home win over Liverpool in the Premier League came in December 2011. However, they held on to leave Anfield with a 2-2 draw in December – the only point they have picked up in their last 11 meetings with the table-toppers.
