Fulham are back, and back with a load of familiar faces. This is the 4th time in their team history that they have been on the
England Premier Soccer League
They are the second division champions, just as they were in their debut season. But compared to the long journey from 2001/02 to 2013/14, in recent years Tenant Farm have been caught in a cycle of elevation since 2017/18, with 2 Premier League play-off winners failing to make it to the top.

Fulham 2020/21 were actually better defensively but also more constipated offensively than 2018/19, and even though they were relegated 3 rounds early that season along with West Brom, they ran into the

But were able to go 1-1 at home and 0-1 on the road to take the head-to-head advantage - or while it lasted.

Sprinkle salt in the wound of a six-game home losing streak.
However, in addition to a slightly different line-up to today, then head coach Scott Parker had run off to Bournemouth and led the team to promotion, in a very different style to today's Marco Silva.
Also worth mentioning is this interesting record: from 2019/20 coaching Everton as visitors

Pummeled 5-2 to open the season, Marco Silva went 2-for-2 vs.

Jurgen Klopp finally collected all the highest honors the Reds could muster.
Liverpool (England)
This summer has been a positive one, with Darwin Nunez joining the club to make up for the loss of Sadio Mane, Fabio Carvalho finally getting the transfer process sorted out, and some of the youngsters being sent down to the lower leagues to practise their skills, but sadly youth graduate Neco Williams has opted to go to Nottingham Forest, another promotion contender, after assisting in the promotion of Fulham, and returning from loan. Neco Williams, a youth graduate, has returned from a loan spell at Fulham after helping them to promotion, and has opted to go to another promoted team, Nottingham Forest.
A number of players from both sides have played for the rivals before, so it's really a case of you have me and I have you.
Liverpool (England)
Since 2017/18 by Watford 3-3 draw, has been the opening game 4 consecutive wins, this season is the fourth consecutive season for the opening game strong touch Championship champions (home 4-1 Norwich City, home 4-3 Ritz United, away 0-3 Norwich) and took 3 consecutive victories; Fulham has lost all 5 games (in addition to the first three times the promotion of the Premier League, there are also 1949/50 and 1959/60), so both sides are pre-match Swear to God.

The first step towards glory is to open the season with a win, and Fulham certainly don't want to fall back into the Championship.
Fulham introduced a 4-2-3-1:
Goalkeeper Marek Rodák
Linebackers Kenny Tete, Tosin Adarabioyo, Tim Ream, Antonee Robinson
Back Harrison Reed, João Palhinha
Attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira
LBs Neeskens Kebano, Bobby Reid
Center Aleksandar Mitrovi?

Still in a 4-3-3, the starting lineup for this round is the same as in the Community Shield.

It was exactly the same at the time, just missing the return at the head gantry:
Forwards Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah
Midfielders Thiago Alcantara, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson
Defenders Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold
Goalkeeper Allison Becker
Fulham, playing at home with a lot of momentum, took the

Injured and out of form, the team looked passive with empty possession throughout the game.
In the first minute, a TAA pass was blocked and Aleksandar Mitrovi?got the ball and took a one-touch shot that went wide.
Fulham missed the chance to score a super-quick first touchdown, but the game was in the hands of the sharecroppers from then on. On the other hand
Liverpool (England)
The whole team was sleepwalking, had high possession but couldn't organize a decent attack under the tenant farmer's tight defense, and was made to feel numb by Fulham's waiting counterattacks.
Luis Diaz was caught offside in the 15th minute on a goalmouth shot that broke through the net.
Kenny Tete was yellowed in the 17th minute.
In the 32nd minute, Fulham finally had a chance in front of the goal, Kenny Tete broke through from the right and crossed the ball to Aleksandar Mitrovi?s powerful header over TAA and past Allison Becker to give Fulham a 1-0 lead.
Having massacred the Championship with a record-breaking goal tally last season, Aleksandar Mitrovi?is seen as a key figure in Fulham's ability to stand firm this season.

The number one key to the game, under the painstaking transformation of Marco Silva, the winger is now no longer a woo-woo player.
