Liverpool vs Fulham — AI prediction
Result
Liverpool 0-0 Fulham
Kick-off: 2026-09-12
Liverpool are strong favourites despite a slow start to the season (1W-2D, 6 goals in 3 league games, sitting 6th). Their recent form has improved markedly: back-to-back wins over Ipswich (2-0) and Atlético Madrid (2-1) show incisive attacking, with A. Isak (3 goals in 3 apps) and C. Gakpo (1 goal, 3 assists) leading the charge. Fulham have endured a miserable campaign (0W-0D-3L, pointless at 19th), scoring just 4 goals and leaking 7. They lost 2-3 to both Chelsea and Crystal Palace, and managed only 0 shots on target at Sunderland. T. Cairney (knee) is out for Fulham. Liverpool have won 5 of their last 6 head-to-head meetings. Home advantage at Anfield, superior form, and attacking potency give Liverpool a commanding edge. Expect Liverpool to win comfortably.
Key factors
- Liverpool's recent form: 2 consecutive wins (Ipswich 2-0, Atlético 2-1) with sharp finishing; Fulham 0W-3L, pointless and goalless at Sunderland.
- A. Isak (3 goals in 3 apps) and C. Gakpo (1 goal, 3 assists) in excellent form vs. Joshua King (2 goals, but playing in a struggling side).
- Liverpool injuries: C. Gakpo and J. Gomez questionable; F. Chiesa, H. Ekitike, G. Leoni, C. Bradley confirmed out. Fulham only missing T. Cairney (knee).
- Head-to-head: Liverpool 5-1 vs Fulham over recent meetings; H2H model gives 62% to Liverpool.
- Standings: Liverpool 6th (5 pts, +2 GD); Fulham 19th (0 pts, -3 GD).
- Anfield home advantage and possession control (Liverpool 57.5% avg recent, Fulham 66% but losing games).
- API prediction favours Liverpool 45% (with 45% draw), but on-pitch evidence (form, goals, H2H) points to a Liverpool win; draw risk inflated by early-season volatility.
