It would be untrue to suggest that there is any real rivalry of any sort between Liverpool and Fulham, largely because the two sides haven’t always been in the same division as one another. In fact, they didn’t play a league game against each other until 1949, with Liverpool winning the First Division encounter 1-0. The first four times that the sides met were all the FA Cup, with the very first meeting resulting in a 3-0 win for the London side on the third of February 1912. Another FA Cup meeting came 14 years later, with Fulham again scoring three goals but the Reds at least managing to get one in reply in a 3-1 loss.
A 1-1 draw on the 13th of January 1934 at Anfield resulted in a replay, which Liverpool won 3-2, registering their first win over them before also winning their first league meeting 15 years later. It is fair to say that the Reds enjoyed a degree of superiority over Fulham after those initial struggles, winning 13 games out of 20 between 1951 and 1965, drawing five and losing just two. Such stretches weren’t uncommon, which is hardly surprising when you consider that Fulham were mostly a lower league team in the past. Between 1966 and February 2005, for example, Liverpool only lost once to the London side.
High-Scoring Encounters
One of the standout things about matches between Liverpool and Fulham has been the number of times that they have been high-scoring encounters. When they met on the 13th of October 1951, for example, the Reds ran out 4-0 winners, then four years later won 4-1. One of the biggest scorelines came in the November of 1955, with the Second Division match finishing 7-0 in Liverpool’s favour. Not that all of the high-scoring matches only involved the Reds scoring, of course. A league match in the October of 1956 also saw seven goals, but this time finishing 4-3 to Liverpool. Another game 12 years later ended 4-1 to the Reds.
None of those games even come close to touching what happened when the sides went up against one another in their fourth of nine consecutive League Cup matches, however. It was the 23rd of September 1986 when Fulham arrived at Anfield hoping to progress to the third round, but Liverpool were in imperious form and had no intention of the second-leg even being worth their while playing in. They hit Fulham 10-0, which is one of the highest scoring rounds in the history of the competition, winning the second-leg 3-2 for an average scoreline of 13-2. The Reds made it to the final that season, losing 2-1 to Arsenal at Wembley.
