History of the Fulham v Liverpool fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 26 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 8.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was just last season, in October 2005, with Fulham running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Fulham need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Cottagers have scored 5, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Reds's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 4 against.

Fulham are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 36 points from 36 matches. Liverpool sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 67 points from their 36 games.
