Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Fulham at Anfield, marking just the third time in 63 years the club has failed to win their opening home games of a league season. The performance was a flat follow-up to an encouraging midweek Champions League display against Atletico Madrid. Manager Andoni Iraola admitted his side lacked freshness and cutting edge, stating the team was physically and mentally tired.

Goalkeeper Alisson expressed frustration, noting three draws from four games is unacceptable for the club's standards. The attacking trio of Alexander Isak, Bradley Barcola, and Florian Wirtz started together for the first time but created few chances, with Isak recording only 16 touches. Despite defensive resilience, Liverpool struggled to impose Iraola's intensity, particularly in the second half after changes failed to spark improvement.

The result leaves the side unbeaten but disappointed with six points from the opening four Premier League games.
