>Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips – 12/09/2026
Anfield hosts a Premier League fixture with contrasting fortunes when Liverpool welcome Fulham on Wednesday 12 September 2026. Andoni Iraola's side sit seventh, unbeaten through four league outings, and fresh from a midweek Champions League triumph. Fulham, rooted to the foot of the table under Alvaro Arbeloa, arrive without a single point from three matches. The Cottagers have not won at Anfield since 2021, and their leaky defence, having shipped seven goals already, faces a stern test against a Liverpool attack building confidence with each passing week.
Match Analysis
Liverpool enter this Anfield fixture as commanding favorites at 1.44, unbeaten across four Premier League matches under Andoni Iraola. Sitting 12 places above Fulham and backed by superior defensive metrics, the Reds carry clear structural authority heading into this contest.
- 4 wins from the last 6 Anfield H2H meetings, with Fulham's last home victory dating to 2021.
- 1.33 goals conceded per game this season, reflecting a defensively disciplined Liverpool setup.
- Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak provide elite forward depth even with Gakpo doubtful through adductor niggles.
- Liverpool unbeaten in all competitions this season, including a recent Champions League victory.
Fulham arrive at Anfield in dire form, priced at 6.50, having lost all three Premier League openers and conceded seven goals. Alvaro Arbeloa's side also travel without creative fulcrum Tom Cairney, sidelined with knee problems, compounding their tactical difficulties.
- Fulham have conceded 7 goals in 3 games, the worst defensive record in this fixture's context.
- Goalkeeper Leno recording only a 53% save percentage, offering minimal last-line resistance.
- Tom Cairney confirmed out with knee problems, removing Fulham's primary creative engine from the lineup.
Key point: With both defenses under pressure and Liverpool's attack still potent, the over 2.5 goals market at 1.44 offers a complementary angle to the home win prediction.

Medium confidence
Both sides line up in matching 4-2-3-1 shapes, setting the stage for a midfield battle that will likely define the contest. Florian Wirtz operates in the number ten role for Liverpool, with the freedom to link play between a compact double pivot and Alexander Isak through the centre.
Fulham mirror that structure almost precisely, with Sander Berge and Tyrese Charles offering defensive solidity behind a creative quartet. Marco Silva's side will look to exploit any space in behind on the counter, making Liverpool's defensive discipline across the width of the pitch every bit as important as their attacking intent.
Our Verdict
Liverpool's unbeaten start, combined with Fulham's wretched run of three straight defeats and seven goals conceded, makes the home win at 1.44 the standout selection. Fulham have not triumphed at Anfield since 2021, and Arbeloa's side look fragile at the back. With that defensive vulnerability in mind, over 2.5 goals at 1.44 offers genuine value. Backing both teams to score at 1.57 also merits consideration, given Fulham's leaky rearguard and Liverpool's occasional defensive lapses. Odds correct at time of publication.
