Get the lowdown on Fulham ahead of their visit to face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League.

Key men

Aleksandar Mitrovic - who is suspended for tonight's game - is Fulham's top goalscorer this term having netted on 12 occasions across all competitions.

Andreas Pereira has found the back of the net five times alongside Manor Solomon, while Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Joao Palhinha have scored four apiece.

Pereira has also been his team's top assister this season, leading the way with six final key passes.

Kenny Tete, Willian and Mitrovic have all recorded four assists, with Neeskens Kebano providing three.

Recent form

Fulham head to Anfield having won two of their last five fixtures.

Marco Silva's side were beaten by Manchester City last time out in the Premier League, following a midweek loss to Aston Villa.

The Cottagers, though, secured wins over Leeds United and Everton prior and sit in 10th place in the standings.

Previous meeting

The Reds have met Fulham once previously in the 2022-23 campaign to date.

The two teams played out a 2-2 draw last August on the opening day of the Premier League campaign.

Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah both struck for Liverpool in the second half of the contest to earn a point at Craven Cottage.

Inside Fulham: Fulham 2-2 Liverpool

Stats

  • In the Premier League era, Liverpool have won 18, drawn six and lost seven of the 31 meetings with Fulham, while at Anfield they have won nine, with four draws and two defeats.
  • Only one Liverpool player has scored against Fulham in both meetings of a Premier League season – Milan Baros in 2004-05.

What they said

Marco Silva

"Even before the four wins in a row, they had that game with Arsenal when they were losing 2-0 and they came back with an important point for them.

"That means they are in a good moment right now, they want to keep the momentum, of course they want to build from that situation.

"It's up to us to be ready to play at Anfield, it's always really tough. It will be for sure a great environment in that stadium, and it will be another great challenge for us."
