History of the Liverpool v Fulham fixture

Liverpool prepare to entertain Fulham at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Reds have won an impressive 16 of the 23 meetings between the two sides, drawing the other 7.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Anfield was less than a year ago, in April 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
