Fulham vs Liverpool LIVE: Kick-off time and how to follow as Mohamed Salah chases two Thierry Henry records
Liverpool can take another giant step to officially clinching the Premier League title when they face Fulham this weekend. The Reds restored their 12-point gap at the top of the table after their 1-0 win over rivals Everton in the midweek Merseyside derby. Liverpool are closing in on the Premier League titleAFP Arne Slot‘s men only need 13 points out of the remaining 24 on offer from their final eight matches to guarantee the title. However, it could come even earlier should the nearest challengers, Arsenal, continue to slip-up, with Everton ironically able to do Liverpool a favour when they face the Gunners on Saturday. To add insult to injury, Mohamed Salah can equal one long-standing Thierry Henry record while breaking another, both of which from August 2003, should he have a hand in two goals this weekend. Fulham were unable to affect the title race with a 2-1 defeat to Mikel Arteta‘s side in midweek but now have a second opportunity. When can Liverpool win the title? The Reds only need four more wins and a draw to secure the 13 points needed to guarantee a second Premier League trophy. That would leave the club on 86 points, one more than the maximum Arsenal can reach should they win all their remaining matches. The earliest date Liverpool could mathematically win the title is Sunday, April 20. That would involve Slot’s team winning their next two against Fulham and West Ham, with Arsenal losing to both Everton and Brentford. The Premier League’s top two then both play on April 20, with the Gunners drawing or losing away at Ipswich, seeing Liverpool crowned champions before even kicking a ball at Leicester. Should Arsenal match Liverpool’s results, the latter’s chance to claim domestic glory would come at Chelsea on Sunday, May 4.

- Liverpool have won each of their last three away Premier League games in London, beating Spurs, West Ham and Brentford. They last won four in a row between December and April in the 2020-21 campaign.
- Since the start of last season, Fulham have scored 53 Premier League goals at Craven Cottage but only two of those have come from outside the box, converting just 1.3% of their attempts from range in that time; four of their last 10 home goals in 2022-23 were scored from outside the area.
- Across Liverpool’s last four away Premier League matches, Liverpool have scored eight goals and all eight have either been scored (5) or assisted (3) by Mohamed Salah. Only one player has ever had a hand in nine in a row for a side away from home in the competition – Thierry Henry between April and August 2003 for Arsenal (3 goals, 6 assists).
- Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has had a hand in exactly two goals in each of his last four away Premier League appearances, his second run of doing so this season (also November/December 2024). No player has ever done so in five away games in a row, with Thierry Henry also having a run of four between April and August 2003.
