Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction Premier League
Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction and Betting Tips for the Premier League, scheduled for January 04, 2026, at 15:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and NOW TV from the Craven Cottage in London. This clash finds both sides coming off New Year’s Day draws, eager to kickstart their 2026 campaign with a maximum points haul. Liverpool currently holds fourth place with 33 points, while Fulham sits mid table on 27, though only three points separate them from the European spots. In this article, you’ll discover Statistical Association Football Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Fulham enters this match on a strong four game unbeaten run within the Premier League recently.
- Liverpool remains undefeated in eight matches despite a frustrating scoreless draw against Leeds last Thursday.
- Statistics show that Liverpool averages nearly two goals scored during their recent away matches this season.
- Fulham took four points from Liverpool last season including a dramatic victory here at Craven Cottage.
- Both teams combined average over ten corners per match making for a very busy afternoon.
- Match data indicates that Liverpool away fixtures frequently result in more than five yellow cards total.
The hosts have been remarkably resilient lately, riding a wave of confidence under Marco Silva. Despite missing key figures like Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey to international duty, they found a way to rescue a point against Crystal Palace thanks to the veteran Tom Cairney. Still, Silva’s personal record against defending champions is a bit of a nightmare, having lost every single one of those encounters. However, with the Cottage faithful behind them, the Cottagers will look to replicate last season’s 3-2 victory. Statistically, Fulham averages 1.67 goals at home, suggesting they have the firepower to test a Liverpool backline that hasn’t been entirely airtight on its travels.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Joe Gomez could return for Sunday’s trip to Fulham, though Wataru Endo remains sidelined. Reflecting on a "constant battle" this season, Slot acknowledged that while the Reds have stabilized defensively, they must find more "magic" to improve chance conversion. Despite an eight-game unbeaten run, the head coach views their fourth-place standing as a fair reflection of their current creative struggles.

When looking at the playing styles of Marco Silva and Arne Slot, an open game is almost inevitable. Fulham plays with an expansive width at home, which often leaves gaps for counter attacking teams like Liverpool to exploit. Statistically, the BTTS percentage for Liverpool away matches sits at a significant 67%, while the overall average between these two teams for this market is 56%. Liverpool’s defensive record away from home has been somewhat shaky, conceding more on average than they do at Anfield. Fulham’s tendency to score exactly once in recent games combined with Liverpool’s desperate need to bounce back from a draw creates the perfect environment for goals. Considering Fulham took four points off the Reds last season in high scoring affairs, both teams getting on the scoresheet is a very high probability outcome for Sunday's clash in the capital.
