Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield on Saturday 12 September 2026 (15:00 BST). The Reds won 2–0 at Ipswich in GW3 with Cody Gakpo (28 FPL points) leading the scoring charts; Fulham lost 2–3 at Crystal Palace in the GW3 south London derby.
Liverpool: team news & GW3 form
Arne Slot's Liverpool keep Alisson, van Dijk, Isak and Gakpo as certainties. Wirtz links midfield to attack; home vs a Fulham side conceding three at Palace makes this the consensus GW4 captain fixture.

Fulham: team news & GW3 form
Marco Silva's Fulham travel with Smith Rowe, Muniz and Robinson after the GW3 derby defeat. Craven Cottage form does not travel; away at Anfield is the hardest assignment in the 15:00 slot.
Key tactical battle
Liverpool's high press and full-back width (Bradley, Kerkez) vs Fulham's technical build-up — expect Liverpool to pin Fulham back from the first whistle.
Head-to-head record
Liverpool have won four of the last five league meetings at Anfield against Fulham; Fulham's best route is set pieces through Smith Rowe.
Fantasy & Predictor picks
- Cody Gakpo (Liverpool, MID): FPL top scorer (28 pts) — default GW4 captain at home.
- Alexander Isak (Liverpool, FWD): premium alternative if you own both Liverpool attackers.
- Florian Wirtz (Liverpool, MID): creative link behind Isak and Gakpo.
- Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, DEF): clean-sheet upside vs Fulham after Palace scored three.
- Predictor: Liverpool 3–1 Fulham.
Prediction
Gakpo and Isak decide it at Anfield. Prediction: Liverpool 3–1 Fulham.
