On Saturday afternoon, Liverpool's past and present will clash at Anfield as the Reds take on Fulham, who have yet to earn a point in the Premier League. Andoni Iraola's team secured a 2-0 victory against Ipswich Town in their last league match, while Fulham faced a disappointing third consecutive defeat, losing 3-2 at home to Crystal Palace. Liverpool has maintained a trend of scoring multiple goals in every match under Iraola, combining their dynamic attacking style with improved defensive organization. They are currently on a strong upward trajectory both domestically and in Europe. After defeating Ipswich with a quick double from Alexander Isak, Liverpool followed up with a confidence-boosting 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, thanks to goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister. Mac Allister's contribution came after he revealed that Liverpool had no plans to extend his contract, raising questions about his future performance throughout the season rather than relying on a single standout moment. The Reds are now aiming for their first Premier League home victory of the season, hoping to break a streak of three straight draws at Anfield, where they haven't experienced a longer winless league run since the COVID-19 pandemic. Fulham managed to secure their first competitive win of the season against AFC Wimbledon, winning 3-0 in the second round of the EFL Cup. However, their Premier League campaign has been far from encouraging. The Cottagers have lost all three of their opening league matches, each in different ways: they failed to outscore Chelsea and Palace at home and were shut out by Sunderland in a narrow 1-0 defeat.
