Fulham under Marco Silva are not a side that arrives at Anfield simply to survive. They will have a specific tactical plan — and understanding it tells Liverpool exactly what they must overcome. Fulham's likely approach at Anfield: Possession-based build-up: Fulham are one of the Premier League's more technically accomplished sides in terms of build-up play. They will try to keep the ball under Liverpool's press rather than conceding possession cheaply — something Liverpool's pressing system is specifically designed to prevent. High defensive line: Fulham defend with a high line, which creates space behind the defence. Liverpool's runners — particularly Salah's diagonal runs from wide and Ekitike's movement in behind — will target this specific space in the first 20 minutes. Wide attacking threat: Fulham's wide forwards are their primary creative outlet. Liverpool's full-backs — Trent on the right, Robertson on the left — must manage these threats without leaving Liverpool exposed when they attack. Set-piece delivery: Fulham are above-average from set pieces. Liverpool's defensive organisation from corners and free kicks will need to be disciplined. Liverpool's counter: early press forces Fulham's goalkeeper and centre-backs into errors. Win the ball high, score before 30 minutes, take the crowd noise and use it as a weapon for 60 minutes. 📅 Sat 11 Apr, 08:30 UTC | Anfield 🏆 GW30 | Fulham's Blueprint
