A look at their most recent head-to-head clashes going back to 09/11/2013 shows us that Fulham have won 1 of them and Liverpool 4, with the number of drawn results being 1. A sum of 17 goals were scored between them in this period, with 5 for The Cottagers and 12 belonging to The Reds. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.83. The last league contest between the two was Premier League match day 27 on 07/03/2021 which finished with the scoreline of Liverpool 0-1 Fulham. In that match, Liverpool managed 63% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Fulham got 10 shots on goal with 3 on target. Mario Lemina (45') was the scorer. The match was refereed by Kevin Friend I believe that Fulham are certainly able to find the net against this Liverpool side, however a single goal probably shouldn’t be enough. I can see a narrow 1-2 win for Liverpool when the referee blows the final whistle. Should be an interesting one.
Fulham mark their return to the Premier League with the tough welcome of Liverpool in Saturday's lunchtime kick off. The visitors have come away with a positive result in each of their last four visits to Craven Cottage, but were held to a 1-1 draw when these two last met in 2020. Liverpool will look to lay down an early marker in the Premier League and their confidence will be high following Saturday's Community Shield win over Manchester City. The Reds have a superb record in 2022, winning 16 and drawing three of 19 league matches this year. Jurgen Klopp's side should ease to a comfortable opening weekend win in the capital. 0:3
Nathaniel Chalobah is a doubt for Fulham, but Marco Silva is without injured pair Joe Bryan and Harry Wilson. Kevin Mbabu may start ahead of Kenny Tete at right-back after providing the assist for Aleksandar Mitrovic's equaliser against Villarreal over the weekend. Fellow summer arrivals Joao Palhinha and Andreas Pereira are also set to start. Jurgen Klopp is hoping to have Kostas Tsimikas available in some capacity. However, Ibrahima Konate, Caoimhin Kelleher, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain all miss the trip to Craven Cottage. Darwin Nunez netted off the bench in Saturday's Community Shield win over Manchester City, and may start as a sub in the capital.
Liverpool have won 16 of their last 18 matches (Premier League). Fulham have lost their last 6 home matches (Premier League). Liverpool have been drawing at half time and winning at full time in their last 3 matches (Premier League). Liverpool have scored at least 2 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches (Premier League). Fulham have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 home matches (Premier League). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Fulham's last 7 games (Premier League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Liverpool's last 3 games (Premier League).
Fulham may have made some eye-catching acquisitions this summer, but Silva's side are still prone to the odd lacklustre defensive showing, and a full-strength Liverpool need no second invitation to take advantage. Klopp has far more injuries to contend with than he would have liked at this point of the season, but we cannot see past a routine win for the title hopefuls on the opening day.
