Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction and Betting Tips | January 4th 2026

Fulham will host Liverpool at Craven Cottage in the Premier League on Sunday. The Cottagers are 11th in the standings with 27 points, three fewer than fifth-placed Chelsea. The Reds are fourth in the league table with 33 points.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last four league games. Their winning streak ended after three games on Thursday, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace. Tom Cairney scored an 80th-minute equalizer as they avoided defeat in their first match of the year.

The visitors have enjoyed a good run of form, and they are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions. They also got 2026 underway with a draw on Thursday, playing a scoreless stalemate against Leeds United.

Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction

The Cottagers have won three of their last five games in all competitions, with two coming on their travels. Notably, they have lost two of their last three Premier League home games, conceding seven goals.

Rodrigo Muniz, Kenny Tete, Ryan Sessegnon, and Joshua King are unavailable for Marco Silva due to injuries. Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze are at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Reds saw their winning streak end after four games on Thursday, and they also failed to score for the first time in nine games in that draw. They have scored at least two goals in six of their last eight away meetings against the hosts and will look to build on that form.

Giovanni Leoni, Alexander Isak, and Wataru Endo are confirmed absentees for Arne Slot, while Joe Gomez will undergo a late fitness test. Mohamed Salah remains at the AFCON.

The Reds are on an eight-game unbeaten streak in the league, and considering their better goalscoring form against the hosts, we back them to secure a win.
