Liverpool vs Fulham Lineups: Liverpool FC return to Premier League action at Anfield on Saturday as they host Fulham in the fourth round of the 2026-27 campaign. The Reds have made an unbeaten start to the EPL season and arrive with added confidence after a 2-1 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid. Alexander Isak has already made an impact, scoring three Premier League goals.
Fulham FC face a very different challenge. The Cottagers have lost each of their opening three league matches and are still searching for their first point. Alvaro Arbeloa’s side suffered a 3-2 defeat against Crystal Palace last time out. Liverpool will therefore look to maintain their momentum, while Fulham need a response at one of England’s toughest venues.
