History of the Fulham v Liverpool fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 11 of the 27 previous games, with the Cottagers winning just 9.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in May 2007, the Cottagers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Fulham's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Cottagers have scored 4, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Liverpool's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Fulham are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 27 points from their 34 games thus far. Liverpool sit in a healthy 4th in the league, and have picked up 66 points from their 34 games.

Nothing seems to be going right for the Cottagers at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Reds come away with an easy victory. Away win

Fulham 7 games since last home draw.
