In-depth Analysis
Ahead of their clash with Fulham, Liverpool are under considerable pressure, having not only lost their last three matches but also failed to win in their previous three meetings with the London side (2 draws, 1 loss). These numbers partly reflect the recent decline of the Reds in head-to-head encounters.
In fact, Liverpool’s form has been inconsistent since last autumn. Since Matchday 6 of the Premier League, they have suffered as many as 10 defeats — more than the 9 wins they have recorded. Moreover, during the same period, 11 teams have collected more points than the 34 points earned by Arne Slot’s side.
In their last three Premier League matches, Liverpool have continued to disappoint, failing to secure a single victory with 2 losses and 1 draw. Their inconsistent performances make them look vulnerable, as any opponent now seems capable of taking points — or even beating them.
On the other hand, Fulham have every reason to be confident of at least earning a point at Anfield this weekend. The London side are in solid form, with 3 wins, 1 draw, and just 1 defeat in their last five matches. Notably, Fulham are also unbeaten in their last three away games, with 2 wins and 1 draw.
To achieve their goal of causing an upset at Anfield, Fulham will need their key players to step up — especially Harry Wilson. The forward has been involved in 16 Premier League goals this season (10 goals, 6 assists) and remains the main attacking threat for the visitors.
