History of the Fulham v Liverpool fixture

Fulham prepare to entertain Liverpool at Craven Cottage at tea-time on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 12 of the 28 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 April 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premier League match.
