Fulham Preview – Can the Cottagers cause a big upset in game one?
Fulham spent just one year away from the Premier League, bouncing back under Marco Silva as 2021-22 Championship champions. The Cottagers were the real deal in the second division last term, racking up an impressive 90 points. Silva’s side won 27 games and scored a sensational 106 goals.
When Fulham were last promoted to the Premier League, they lasted just one year under Scott Parker. Avoiding an instant return will be the priority, but the Londoners will be looking to finish as high as possible this season.
Facing Liverpool on the opening weekend is just about as tough as it gets for Fulham, but the Cottagers will be well up for this one after dominating the Championship last season. Can former Everton boss Silva guide the Whites to a shock win over Liverpool on matchday one?
Liverpool Preview – Reds to start with a routine win?
Liverpool had a season to remember last time around, finishing runners-up in the Premier League and reaching three major finals. They beat Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea on penalties in the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals, but the Reds were beaten by Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final in Paris.
Liverpool had an incredible record away from home last season, suffering just two Premier League away defeats. Jurgen Klopp’s men are unbeaten on the road in the league since losing to Leicester City at the end of 2021.

Fulham vs Liverpool Betting Advice
During the 2020-21 season, Fulham picked up a shock win at Anfield. The Reds were struggling at home at the time, and the Cottagers capitalised thanks to Mario Lemina’s goal on the stroke of half time. Liverpool also dropped points in the game at Craven Cottage, with Mohamed Salah rescuing a point from the spot late on after Bobby Decordova-Reid’s first-half opener.
Liverpool’s last success in this fixture came in March of the 2018-19 season. Klopp’s boys ran out narrow 2-1 winners in the capital, with Sadio Mane and James Milner getting the goals.
