Liverpool managed to keep their unbeaten home record intact on September 12, 2026. The problem is they also failed to win, again.
A 0-0 draw against Fulham at Anfield in round four of the 2026/27 Premier League season was Liverpool’s third consecutive draw at home. The result leaves Andoni Iraola’s side in sixth place with six points from four games. Fulham, meanwhile, sit in 18th with just one point from four outings, still searching for their first win of the campaign under manager Álvaro Arbeloa.
A game that had the energy of a chess match nobody wanted to finish
Fulham’s best moment came through a Victor Munoz header that rattled the crossbar. Liverpool showed more urgency in the second half, with possession and shot counts roughly even across the ninety minutes according to match statistics.
Referee Thomas Bramall had a quiet afternoon, with no red cards recorded.
Arbeloa’s presence in the opposing dugout added a layer of narrative context. The former Liverpool defender returned to Anfield as a manager, keeping a clean sheet against a side that had shown promising form earlier in the season following victories over Ipswich Town and Atlético Madrid in domestic and European competition.
Three home draws and a table that does not flatter
Six points from four games leaves Liverpool in sixth. Fulham’s position is more pressing: one point from four games and sitting in 18th places them in the relegation zone, where teams that start a Premier League campaign this slowly often find the gap difficult to close.
The Munoz crossbar moment will linger for Fulham. Liverpool’s more complicated question is what the draw reveals about their attacking cohesion, particularly against a Fulham side that had every incentive to defend compactly and succeeded in doing exactly that, limiting a Liverpool team expected to dominate the match.
