Fulham vs Liverpool live stream, Saturday 6 August, 12:30pm BST, BT Sport 1 & BT Sport Ultimate
Looking for a Fulham vs Liverpool live stream? We’ve got you covered with our handy guide!
Having missed out on the title by one point last season, Liverpool need no motivation as they start the new campaign – and first up, they head to Craven Cottage to face newly-promoted Fulham.
Well, we say newly-promoted, but the Cottagers have been yo-yoing between the first and second tiers since 2018; they’ll be hoping it’s a case of third time lucky as they look to make it stick in the top flight, having come up as Championship winners.
And, under Marco Silva, they did it as the top scorers in England, banging an astonishing 106 goals at an average of well over two per game. Even more extraordinarily, Alexsandar Mitrovic – who’s historically struggled in the Premier League – accounted for 43 of them.
The Reds know a thing or two about sticking the ball in the net, too, having done so 94 times last term. They’ve since lost one of their main attacking weapons in Sadio Mane – but they have gone and replaced him with prolific prodigy Darwin Nunez, who could take the Premier League by storm.
Jurgen Klopp’s side failed to beat Fulham in either of their 2020-21 meetings – losing at Anfield – but they’re in considerably better shape now and will be targeting a fourth win from five on the banks of the River Thames, and a fifth consecutive opening-weekend victory.
Team news
Silva has been dealt a big blow ahead of this clash, with the news that former Liverpool winger Harry Wilson could be out for two months. Left-back Joe Bryan and midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah are also injured – but there could be debuts for goalkeeper Bern Leno, right-back Kevin Mbabu, and midfielders Joao Palhinha and Andreas Pereiria.
After scoring on his debut in Liverpool’s 3-1 Community Shield triumph over Manchester City last Saturday, Nunez is set to lead the Reds line once again. Klopp has confirmed that Alisson, who missed that game, is fit to start – but Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita all miss out.
Kick-off is at 12:30pm BST on Saturday 6 August, and UK viewers can watch the game live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
