Fulham are still searching for their first points of the new era under head coach Alvaro Arbeloa as they prepare for a daunting trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.
The West London club has endured a difficult start to the Spaniard’s tenure, with the team yet to register a single point in the league since his appointment. Despite the poor results and early speculation surrounding his position, Arbeloa remains steadfast in his commitment to the project at Craven Cottage.
Arbeloa insists he is in for the long haul
Addressing the mounting pressure, the former Real Madrid and Liverpool defender made it clear that he has no intention of walking away from the challenge. Arbeloa is adamant that he has no plans to give up on the project, backing his methods and the squad to turn the tide despite the inauspicious beginning.
Anfield test awaits
The fixture list offers no respite. A visit to Anfield represents one of the sternest examinations in English football, with Arne Slot’s Liverpool side looking formidable on home soil. For Fulham, the match is a chance to secure a statement result and break the duck, but the odds are stacked heavily against them given the current form disparity.
Supporters will be watching closely to see if Arbeloa can galvanize his side for an upset, or if the winless run will extend further against the Merseyside giants.
