FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 FULHAM

comment

Liverpool launch one final rally with Frimpong swinging a low ball across the area. Ngumoha attacks it at the far post, but can't steer the ball anywhere close to the goal. That should be that, with Fulham registering their first points of the campaign.

comment

We're into the final 60 seconds at Anfield, with this contest fizzling out towards a stalemate. That is, of course, unless either side can find a winning goal. It's not looking likely at the moment, though.

OOH ISAK! The fourth official indicates there'll be four minutes of stoppage time, before Szoboszlai's free-kick deflects behind for a corner, which he goes across to take. Isak steals a yard on his man to meet the delivery at the near post. He can't connect properly, though, with the ball flashing across goal and wide.

comment

There's a brief concern for Liverpool as Isak stays down following a challenge by Robinson, which earns the Reds a free-kick. Thankfully for their number nine, he's eventually back on his feet.

88'

comment

It's an important intervention by Kerkez. Berge lifts the ball into the area towards Kevin, who is shaped ready to volley at goal. However, the Liverpool defender gets his head to the ball, and manages to divert it away.

comment

Fulham managed to maintain their discipline and cope in the absence of Tete, who is now back on the field. Can either side find that decisive quality to settle this contest?

83'

•

comment

Tete requires treatment after picking up a knock. That means he must leave the field for a minute. It gives Liverpool a chance to capitalise while having a numerical advantage.

81'

C

Yellow Card

Kerkez, after good work from Wirtz, looks to drive inside towards the area. He's stopped in his tracks by a late sliding challenge from Tete, who goes into the book.

comment

We're into the final 10 minutes at Anfield. It's still goalless, but there's plenty of time for both sides to change that. Can either of them find the decisive breakthrough?

comment

Kevin involved again as he lines a shot up from the edge of the box. However, he drags it not far wide of the far post.

78'

comment

There's a chance for Fulham, as Kevin whips a deep cross towards the far post. Muniz is unmarked, but his touch lets him down, and Liverpool can breathe.

Substitution

Larsson comes on in place of Iwobi in the last of the changes.

Substitution

King is also given a breather after another impressive display. He is replaced by Smith Rowe.

Substitution

Fulham have a corner, but will make three changes before it's taken. Muniz replaces Garcia in the first one.

highlight

GOOD RUN, GOOD SHOT, GOOD SAVE! At the other end, King drives Fulham forward to the edge of the penalty area. The midfielder checks inside and takes aim, but Alisson does well to palm his shot away.

75'

comment

Mac Allister seeks out Isak with a long ball forward. However, it's just out of reach for the striker, who acknowledges his team-mate's efforts.

74'

•

comment

Frimpong is immediately involved on the overlap in the Fulham box. He cuts the ball back to compatriot Gakpo, but he can't get it under control. Liverpool appeal for a penalty when Mac Allister goes down, though the referee isn't interested.

Substitution

Fulham also make a change, as Castagne goes off to be replaced by Kevin.

Substitution

Another of the new signings makes way, as Araujo is replaced by Frimpong at right-back.

Substitution

Changes for both sides at Anfield. Barcola's first Premier League start comes to an end, as he's replaced by Ngumoha.

69'

comment

The excitement grows among the home fans, as some play from Wirtz releases Barcola. He cuts the ball back towards Isak, but Fulham do well to intercept.

67'

comment

GOOD HIT! The hosts turn up the pressure. Szoboszlai exchanges passes with Mac Allister on the edge of the box, before unleashing a fierce strike with plenty of venom behind it. Leno is alert, though, and beats it away to safety.

comment

We're still awaiting the breakthrough heading into the final 25 minutes at Anfield. The home fans do their best to rally their players by significantly raising the volume.

Substitution

Fulham make their first change of the day, and it's a conservative one, as Bobb makes way to be replaced by Tete.

King finds space in the pocket between Liverpool's defence and midfield. He works the ball out to Robinson, whose low cross is turned behind by Van Dijk, with the Reds skipper taking no chances.

Substitution

There's also rotation in the middle of the park, with Gravenberch making way for Mac Allister.

Substitution

Here comes those expected Liverpool changes. Firstly, Gakpo is introduced in place of Munoz on the wing.

comment

There appears to be activity on the Liverpool bench, with a couple of players looking like they're getting ready. Iraola clears wants more from his side, and doesn't feel like the 11 players currently out there can do that.

54'

•

comment

Isak has already matched his Premier League goal tally for all of last season (three), which was largely disrupted by injury. He certainly looks to be getting back to the best version of himself that we saw so often at Newcastle United.

52'

•

comment

Lovely feet from Isak, who receives the ball from Wirtz on the edge of the box and dances away from a couple of challenges. He does well to get a shot away with the ball under his feet, but Leno is down to hold it.

51'

comment

Arbeloa is the fourth ex-Liverpool player to manage against the Reds in the Premier League. The Spaniard is looking to be the first one to avoid, with Paul Ince, Mauricio Pellegrino and Steven Gerrard all having failed to do so.

49'

comment

Fulham look to counter and Robinson skips away from Araujo's sliding challenge. However, his touch is a little too heavy, and runs through to Alisson.

46'

comment

The teams are back out ready for the second half, which Liverpool get under way.

Substitution

Liverpool have made a change at left-back during the half-time interval, with Kerkez coming on to replace Tsimikas.

Liverpool remain the favourites for all three points with Opta's supercomputer, which rates their chances of claiming them at 53.8%. The chances of a draw have increased to 28.8%, with a Fulham win at 17.4%. All will soon be revealed when the players emerge for the second half.

half_time summary

It's goalless at Anfield, with Liverpool and Fulham still seeking the breakthrough after the opening 45 minutes. Both sides have looked threatening going forward, but their respective xG of 0.38 and 0.48 highlight their lacking of a cutting edge. The hosts almost shot themselves in the foot on 11 minutes, with Alisson's short pass out to Gravenberch intercepted. However, Jacquet came to the rescue by clearing off the line from Garcia. Meanwhile, the crossbar came to Fulham's rescue in the 22nd minute, when Munoz headed against the woodwork from Szoboszlai's corner. Both coaches will be demanding a more incisive approach from their players after the break.

HALF-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-0 FULHAM

We're going to play a single minute of additional time at the end of this first half. Both teams look like they could do with the break to reinvigorate themselves.

comment

Better from Liverpool. Szoboszlai swings a deep ball into the box. Barcola is completely unmarked at the far post and attacks it. However, he doesn't connect cleanly with his volley, which deflects off Castagne and behind for a corner.

42'

comment

The home fans are subdued and there's a tense feeling around the stadium. They respond when Araujo purposefully wins the ball back, and demand more from their players.

comment

We're into the final five minutes of the first half, and it's still 0-0 at Anfield. Can either side find the game's opening goal before the break?

comment

Bobb does brilliantly for Fulham, as he takes on Tsimikas and sits up an inviting cross in the box. Robinson beats Munoz to attack it, but can't direct it towards goal.

35'

comment

Jacquet stays down holding his face after he is accidentally caught by Robinson's trailing leg. The defender's just gathering himself, though, and is soon back on his feet.

33'

comment

Straight at the goalkeeper. Iwobi's inswinging corner is only cleared as far as Bobb, who tees up King. The latter doesn't strike cleanly, though, and Alisson can gobble up his tame attempt.

comment

We've hit the half-hour mark at Anfield, with both sides still seeking the breakthrough. Liverpool are looking the more likely at the moment, but Fulham also look dangerous whenever they come forward.

28'

comment

Fulham look to make something happen at the other end of the field. Bassey is their furthest man forward on the overlap. He does well to keep the ball in play, with his attempted cutback turned behind by Jacquet.

25'

comment

Not far away. Liverpool continue to apply the pressure. Munoz and Szoboszlai combine to find Wirtz, who gets a shot away from a tight angle, but it's wide of the target.

22'

OOOH IT'S HIT THE BAR! Szoboszlai comes across to take the corner. He sends an inswinging delivery dangerously towards goal. Munoz gets his head on the ball, but can't quite keep it down as it thuds against the crossbar and away.

comment

Bobb does well to rob Tsimikas of possession just outside the Fulham area. However, Barcola then wins it back, before Tsimikas' cross is deflected behind for a corner.

comment

Barcola looks to get involved as he chases a ball down the left flank. Affengruber does well against him, though, and the decision goes Fulham's way, with the referee pointing for a goal-kick.

comment

Fulham have only won on two of their last 33 league visits to Anfield, prevailing 1-0 in May 2012 and March 2021. If they're to add to that win tally today, they have to take their chances.

comment

Oh, Oscar Bobb! The former Manchester City winger peels away to the edge of the box, where he's completely unmarked and found by Iwobi. However, his touch is a poor one and, despite an attempt to recover, Liverpool eventually crowd him out.

highlight

WHAT IS ALISSON DOING?! THAT'S A HUGE LET-OFF FOR LIVERPOOL! Alisson plays a short pass into Gravenberch, who is quickly closed down by a combination of Berge and King. The ball drops to Garcia, who skips away from Alisson and shoots, but Jacquet is back on the line to clear.

comment

At the other end, Araujo is caught out of position, allowing Iwobi to find Robinson in space. He feeds it inside to King, who drags his shot wide of the target.

highlight

LOVELY PLAY! Barcola has space for the first time, and the chance to showcase his quality. He threads a neat throughball for Isak to run onto. The latter timed his run well to stay onside, and his first-time shot from a tight angle isn't too far wide of the far post. It was a good attempt from where he was.

comment

Fulham deal with Tsimikas' corner is easily enough. Soon after, they go on the attack down the left wing, with Robinson found in space. He fizzes a low ball into the six-yard box, but an unchallenged Alisson can collect.

Araujo clips a ball down the line for Munoz to chase and apply the pressure to Robinson. The Spaniard eventually forces the Fulham full-back into conceding a corner.

The home fans anticipate an opportunity, as Wirtz feeds the ball out wide to Araujo. The Barcelona loanee fizzes it low into the box, but Fulham deal with it fairly comfortably.

Opta's supercomputer make Liverpool the heavy favourites to win this match at 62.7%. Fulham's chances of claiming only a third win in 17 Premier League meetings between the sides are rated at 18.2%, with a draw at 19.1%. Will that reflect on today's contest? We'll soon find out as the teams are led out onto the field. Kick-off is just moments away...

Meanwhile, Fulham make two alterations from last weekend's defeat to Crystal Palace. One of the comes in the heart of defence, with Affengruber replacing Andersen. The other is in midfield, as Berge is preferred to Palacios. King becomes the second teenager after Ryan Sessegnon to make 20 Premier League starts for the Cottagers, whose only injury absentee today is Tom Cairney.

team news

Liverpool make three changes to the side that beat Atletico on Wednesday. Tsimikas replaces Kerkez at left-back, with Gravenberch taking Mac Allister's place in the heart of midfield. Munoz is also preferred to Ngumoha on the wing, while Barcola starts despite limping off injured in midweek. Gakpo had been a doubt, but makes the bench. Although, Liverpool are without Joe Gomez, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley.

comment

As for Fulham, they're looking to finally kickstart their Premier League season, having opened with three straight single-goal defeats. The Cottagers have only ever started a top-flight campaign with four straight defeats on two previous occasions - in 1951-52 and 2020-21 - and, both times, they ended up getting relegated. Fulham head to Anfield under the guidance of a former Liverpool defender in Alvaro Arbeloa, who spent two-and-a-half years with the Reds under Rafael Benitez.

•

comment

Liverpool are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season in all competitions. The Reds claimed their first victory under Andoni Iraola courtesy of a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town at Portman Road. Liverpool then came from behind in midweek to kickstart their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid. They now look to get back to winning ways in the Premier League on home soil, after drawing each of their last three such matches.
