Liverpool vs. Fulham: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 82

Draws: 22

Fulham wins: 14

Liverpool and Fulham have locked horns on 82 separate occasions over the years, and it comes as no surprise to learn that the Reds lead the head-to-head, winning 46 times compared to the Cottagers' 14, while a further 22 meetings have ended honours even.

Each of the first four showdowns between 1912 and 1934 were fought in the FA Cup, while nine successive League Cup ties took place between 1983 and 2000, but the two clubs have met almost exclusively in the Premier League since the 2001-02 season.

The one - or two - aberrations in that sequence came in the 2023-24 EFL Cup, where Liverpool dug in for a 2-1 success on home soil before holding out for a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, prior to winning their final trophy under Jurgen Klopp's tutelage.

Before that 3-2 aggregate success, a seven-goal Premier League spectacular in December 2023 went Liverpool's way by four strikes to three, and the Reds also made light work of the Cottagers in a 3-1 Craven Cottage triumph in April 2024, their fourth win from five against the capital giants.

A new club record was set by Liverpool in their 4-3 win, where Fulham went 3-2 up in the 80th minute before throwing it all away, as it was the latest that Liverpool had fallen behind in a Premier League game that they went on to prevail in.

In both 2023-24 Premier League fixtures, Trent Alexander-Arnold came up with some heroics for Liverpool, and his stellar set-piece at Craven Cottage marked the right-back's sixth goal direct from a free kick in the English top flight.

Prior to a 1-0 win in May 2023, Liverpool had endured a three-game Premier League run without beating Marco Silva's side, also playing out 2-2 and 1-1 draws in Craven Cottage clashes in August 2022 and December 2020 respectively.

A 1-0 loss at Anfield in March 2021 was sandwiched in between those two stalemates, where Mario Lemina's effort on the stroke of half time prolonged Liverpool's home hoodoo behind closed doors, and Fulham also won by the same scoreline on Liverpool's turf in 2012 owing to a Martin Skrtel own goal.

However, Arne Slot failed to get the better of Fulham during his debut season in the Premier League, as the Cottagers held the Reds to a 2-2 stalemate at Anfield before inflicting Liverpool's first away loss of that top-flight campaign with a 3-2 success at Craven Cottage.

The Dutchman was unable to get the better of the Londoners once again in January 2026, when the two sides drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage in the first of their Premier League clashes in 2025-26.

Harry Wilson gave Fulham a first-half lead, and while second-half strikes from Florian Wirtz and Cody Gakpo gave the Reds hopes of three points, a 97th-minute equaliser from Harrison Reed saw the spoils shared.

However, Slot managed to earn his first victory in this fixture in April 2026, when goals from 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha and club legend Mohamed Salah were enough to secure a 2-0 Premier League win at Anfield.

Most recently, Andoni Iraola's Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by Fulham at Anfield in September 2026, with the Londoners led by former Reds defender Alvaro Arbeloa.

The Reds had the better of the chances that day, but it was the visitors that came closest to winning when they were denied a goal thanks to a goal-line clearance from 21-year-old centre-back Jeremy Jacquet.
