The Premier League has confirmed the match officials for Liverpool’s highly anticipated clash against Fulham at Anfield this Saturday, December 14, at 3:00 PM GMT. With Liverpool sitting at the top of the Premier League table, the encounter promises to be an exciting one, as Marco Silva’s Fulham aim to disrupt Arne Slot’s formidable Reds.
Liverpool’s Dominance in the Premier League
Liverpool’s season under Arne Slot has been nothing short of exceptional. Sitting comfortably at the summit, they boast 11 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 loss in their 14 league fixtures. Their attacking prowess has been a standout feature, with the team averaging a remarkable 2.27 goals per match.

Slot’s tactical acumen has reinvigorated Liverpool, who are now firm favourites for the Premier League title. The squad’s blend of experience and youthful energy has yielded consistent results, with key players stepping up in crucial moments.
Fulham, meanwhile, occupy 10th position with 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses. Marco Silva’s side has shown glimpses of brilliance, netting 21 goals while conceding 19. Though their position in the mid-table suggests inconsistency, they have the capability to challenge stronger sides on their day.
History Favours Liverpool
The head-to-head record between these teams leans heavily in Liverpool’s favour. Out of 37 meetings, Liverpool have emerged victorious on 23 occasions, with Fulham winning just 7 times. Seven matches have ended in draws.
Their last encounter in April 2024 saw Liverpool clinch a convincing 3-1 victory, a result that emphasised their dominance in recent years. For Fulham, breaking this trend at Anfield will be no small feat, especially against a Liverpool side firing on all cylinders.
