Liverpool vs Fulham team news and expert analysis
The giants from Anfield, under Slot, became champions of England in 2025. However, they subsequently dropped to fifth place, costing Arne his job. His successor, Iraola, began with dramatic draws against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. They finally secured a victory against Ipswich, winning 2-0. In the Champions League, they came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid this week.
The London club finished eleventh last season with 52 points, narrowly missing out on Brighton, who qualified for European competition, by just one point. However, their long-serving manager, Marco Silva, subsequently left the club. His successor was surprisingly chosen to be Arbeloa. He led them to a 3-0 victory over Wimbledon in the League Cup, but began their Premier League campaign with defeats against Chelsea and Sunderland. In the previous round, they also failed to take any points against Crystal Palace, losing 2-3.
The former champions are currently scoring two goals per game while conceding 1.33. The capital club, meanwhile, are averaging 1.33 goals scored and 2.33 conceded.
