Андони Ираолагийн удирдсан Ливерпүүл Аваргуудын лигт Атлетико Мадридыг хожиж, Премьер лигийн өмнөх тойрогт Ипсвич Тауныг буулгаж авсны дараа талбайдаа Фулхэмийг угтан авч байна.
Ливерпүүлийн бүрэлдэхүүнд Брэдли Баркола анх удаа Премьер лигийн гараанд гарч байгаа бол Костас Цимикас, Райан Гравенберч, Виктор Муньос нар гарааны бүрэлдэхүүнд багтжээ. Өмнөх тоглолтыг өнжсөн Коди Гакпо сэлгээний бүрэлдэхүүнд эргэн ирсэн байна. Фулхэмийн хувьд Альваро Арбелоа бүрэлдэхүүндээ хоёр өөрчлөлт оруулж, Давид Аффенгрубер болон Сандер Берге нарыг гараанд гаргахаар шийджээ.
Ливерпүүл өөрийн талбайдаа хийсэн Премьер лигийн сүүлийн гурван тоглолтдоо тэнцээд байгаа бөгөөд энэ нь 2021 оны гуравдугаар сараас хойших хамгийн удаан хожилгүй цуврал болж байна. Харин Фулхэм энэ улиралд лигийн эхний дөрвөн тоглолтдоо дараалан хожигдвол түүхэндээ гурав дахь удаагаа ийм таагүй амжилтыг үзүүлэх эрсдэлтэй байна.
Александр Исак Ипсвич Тауны эсрэг дубль хийснээр энэ улирлын гоолын тоогоо гурав болгож, өмнөх улирлын амжилттайгаа тэнцээд байна. Нөгөө талд Фулхэмийн тоглогч Гонзало Гарсиа бөмбөггүй үеийн гүйлтээрээ лигт дээгүүрт бичигдэж байгаа бол багийн анд Жош Кинг өрсөлдөгчийн торгуулийн талбайд хамгийн олон удаа бөмбөг хүрсэн тоглогчоор тэргүүлж байна.
