Liverpool will kick off their 2022/23 Premier League campaign against the newly promoted side, Fulham.

fulham vs liverpool

In this post, we bring you a detailed preview of the Fulham vs Liverpool match scheduled to hold on Sunday.

Fulham once again made a return to the English Premier League and will be hopeful they stay for an extra season in the league this time. Marco Silva’s men have suffered a series of relegations and promotions in the last five seasons. They will be hoping for a permanent stay at the league this season and beyond.

Liverpool started their 2022/23 campaign winning the 2022 FA Community Shield, where they slugged it out with Manchester City and triumphed with a comfortable 3-1 victory at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, thanks to goals from Alexandre-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and new signing Darwin Nunez.

Fulham Team News

Fulham have been so careful not to alter a perfect squad they had in the Championship. So far in the transfer window, they only let go of Fabio Carvalho, who completed a move to Anfield.

Although they have also done well by signing two major players Joao Palinha from Sporting C.P and Andreas Pereira from Manchester United will be a perfect addition to the reformation of the squad.

Fulham’s forward Aleksandar Mitrovic was on fire last season after scoring 43 goals for Fulham and will be looking forward to taking the Premier League defenders by surprise.

Liverpool Team News

Liverpool suffered a heavy blow following Sadio Mane’s exit to Bayern Munich. However, Jurgen Klopp’s side made a quality addition to their squad with the arrival of Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez, and Ramsay.

Darwin Nunez’s arrival has brought a lot of improvement to the team’s attacking line. Previously, Roberto Firminho has been used as a false 9 as the three attackers put to ensure the team survived the absence of a prolific finisher upfront.

The striker arrived this summer from Benfica and has had a slow start after failing to score in the preseason games against Manchester United and Crystal palace. The young lad however came back strong against RB Leipzig where he netted a haul in the second half.

In the Community Shield against Manchester City, Darwin was brought in as a substitute and turned around the game for the Reds setting up a penalty which resulted in Salah’s goal and also heading in the third goal in the stoppage time.

However, Liverpool is currently battling with injury worries after third goalkeeper Adrian was the last option for the Community Shield match on Sunday. According to the report Alison, Kelleher, Diogo Jota, and Oxlade Chamberlain were all injured before the match.

Alison Becker is expected to make a return to the squad for the opening day game as confirmed by the team’s coach during a brief interview with sky sports.

Fulham vs Liverpool Prediction

Although it is going to be Fulham’s first EPL fixture after a long while, it is however expected to be a comfortable victory for a free-scoring Liverpool team.

There should be lots of goals in the game, with over 2.5 guaranteed to be played in the fixtures with possible goals from Mohamed Salah, Luiz Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Mitrovic.

Fulham will try to “pack the bus” to avoid conceding lots of goals in the opening day fixtures but we doubt if they can do well to contain Liverpool’s three attackers, as Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set to continue adopting his 4-3-3 formation again this season.

Prediction: Fulham 0-3 Liverpool

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

 Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangers’ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park — and he didn’t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end — a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done — pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesn’t happen every day, and it’s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtis’ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry — showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celtic’s Japanese Duo

Published

“Are Celtic’s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatate”

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the team’s key Japanese players — Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walker’s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they don’t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walker’s view stems from both men’s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston — and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda — who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season — has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walker’s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maeda’s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away — only for Celtic to block it — and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaign’s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

 The Bigger Picture

Celtic’s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walker’s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward — and who’s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
