Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield with the Reds sitting comfortably in the top half of the table after three rounds, while the Cottagers arrive bottom of the pile without a single point. Fulham have not beaten Liverpool at Anfield in their last several visits, and that trend looks set to continue given how differently these two sides are trending right now. Liverpool’s summer arrivals have started to click, and Alvaro Arbeloa’s men are already leaking goals at an alarming rate on the road.

Alexander Isak has been the standout attacker for Liverpool, scoring three goals across his last five appearances and firing 13 shots in that span, a workload that suggests he’s the focal point of Andoni Iraola’s attack. On the other side, Gonzalo García has quietly produced two goals from 14 shots for Fulham, and he remains the one Fulham forward capable of hurting a defense on the counter.

Hot stat: Liverpool have scored 10 goals in their last five matches compared to Fulham’s seven, but the more telling number is Fulham’s zero wins in their opening three Premier League fixtures this season, a run that has left them bottom of the entire 20-team table with a goal difference of minus three.

Liverpool vs Fulham prediction

We predict Liverpool to win this one comfortably, and the value pick for us is Liverpool to win and over 2.5 goals combined. Liverpool have won 60% of their matches over the last 30 days and sit unbeaten domestically, while Fulham have lost four of their last seven and shipped goals in almost every outing. Backing the hosts to win by two or more clear goals feels like the smart way to attack this fixture rather than the straight moneyline, given how short the odds on Liverpool already run.

Liverpool have committed 62 fouls and picked up 13 yellow cards over their last five matches, a fairly physical approach that pairs with strong ball retention given their pass accuracy sits above Fulham’s raw pass count despite fewer total passes. Fulham have actually racked up more total passes and corners in their last five games, yet their discipline has held up better with just 39 fouls and 5 yellow cards, numbers that suggest they defend deep and try to play through phases rather than press high. That passive approach against a team as direct as Liverpool through Isak and Wirtz should open space in behind, to be hones, and it’s part of why we lean toward goals at both ends here.

Team Analysis

Liverpool’s form over their last five outings shows a mix of results, but their most recent performance was a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid, a result that underlines how the front line can still produce even against a well organized defensive side. Before that, they beat Ipswich 2-0 and drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, patterns that hint at a team capable of scoring freely but occasionally careless at the back. Isak’s goal threat combined with Szoboszlai’s two goals in the same stretch gives Iraola plenty of attacking options heading into this one.

Fulham’s last match ended in a 2-3 defeat to Crystal Palace, continuing a rough patch that has seen them lose four of their last five fixtures. Before that loss they were beaten 0-1 by Sunderland, and their only win in the sample came against AFC Wimbledon by a 3-0 margin. Josh King and Gonzalo García have chipped in with goals recently, but the defense has been the real issue, conceding freely against sides of varying quality.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Liverpool the favourite

• Moneyline Liverpool 1.42 | Fulham 6.00
• Draw 5.00

The market has Liverpool as heavy favourites, and the bookmakers’ average of 66% for a home win lines up with everything we’ve seen from both squads this season. Fulham’s price above 6.00 reflects their winless start and shaky defensive record, and we don’t see much value backing the underdog outright here. The draw at 5.00 looks generous on paper, but Liverpool’s home form this year makes that outcome unlikely against a side conceding this many chances.

Possible Starting Lineups

Iraola should stick with the 4-2-3-1 shape that has featured in each of the last five matches. Van Dijk and Araujo anchor the back line while Frimpong and Kerkez provide width from full back. Wirtz operates just behind Isak, who leads the line as the main scoring outlet, and his movement combined with Szoboszlai’s late runs from midfield should stretch a Fulham defense that has struggled for consistency.

Arbeloa also favours a 4-2-3-1 setup, with Berge and Charles screening the back four while Bobb and Palacios support the front two. García remains the player to watch given his shot volume and finishing touch, but Fulham will need a much sharper defensive display from Andersen and Bassey than they’ve shown recently if they want to avoid a heavy defeat at Anfield.

TipsGG Match Prediction

We predict a comfortable Liverpool win, perhaps by a two goal margin or more, given the gulf in form between these two squads right now. Fulham’s defensive numbers this season, conceding seven goals in just three league matches, don’t inspire confidence against an attack that has already found the net ten times in five outings. Liverpool’s home advantage at Anfield combined with Isak’s sharp finishing makes the hosts our clear pick, with goals at both ends a realistic side bet given Fulham’s own ability to score against weaker resistance.
