Liverpool Looking to Build on Consecutive Wins
Liverpool have made a solid start with Andoni Iraola as the new manager. The Reds are on a six-match unbeaten run and have scored exactly two goals in five consecutive games.
The Merseyside outfit drew 2-2 in two consecutive fixtures to start the new campaign. A comeback draw at Newcastle came before another home stalemate against Nottingham Forest.
Iraola’s side then showed their quality in a solid 2-0 victory at Ipswich. Alexander Isak scored twice early on and Liverpool had seven shots on target.
The Reds sealed another victory on Wednesday, beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home in the Champions League. Liverpool conceded after 17 minutes and Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister scored either side of half time.
Fulham Struggling Near the Bottom of the Table
Alvaro Arbeloa has struggled to generate momentum at Fulham since his summer appointment. The London team are winless in seven matches under Arbeloa and have lost five.
Three of those defeats have come in the 2026/27 Premier League campaign. Fulham lost 3-2 at home against Chelsea and lost 1-0 at Sunderland, allowing over 2XG in each loss.
The Cottagers’ defensive issues continued following a 3-2 home defeat against Crystal Palace. Josh King and Cesar Palacios put Fulham ahead twice before they allowed 1.97 XG and conceded three goals.
