Liverpool vs Fulham Preview
Liverpool sit seventh after an unbeaten start under Andoni Iraola, collecting two wins and three draws from five league outings. Six goals in three matches is a decent return, and back-to-back victories, including a midweek Champions League triumph over Atlético Madrid, have lifted confidence. Three consecutive draws at Anfield is a slight concern, though. Bradley Barcola and Milos Kerkez should be available despite cramps, while Cody Gakpo remains a doubt with adductor trouble.
Fulham are rooted in 19th place, winless in the Premier League after three straight defeats under new boss Alvaro Arbeloa. The former Liverpool defender returns to Anfield in desperate need of points following a 3-2 home loss to Crystal Palace last time out. Away form has been particularly poor, with two defeats in two on the road this term. Sander Berge is expected to slot back into midfield, with Alex Iwobi potentially shifting to the right flank.
Liverpool's unbeaten record under Andoni Iraola provides the foundation for a home win selection at 1.44. Six goals in three league matches and a seven-match unbeaten run at Anfield point to a side growing in confidence, even if three consecutive home draws hint at a finishing edge still being sharpened.
Fulham's situation is far more precarious. Alvaro Arbeloa returns to Anfield as a manager winless in the Premier League, his side having conceded in every fixture so far. Three straight defeats leave the Cottagers 19th and already glancing nervously at the bottom of the table, which makes this a daunting away assignment.
The over 2.5 goals line at 1.44 also merits attention given Fulham's defensive vulnerability and Liverpool's growing attacking output. Both teams to score at 1.57 looks viable too, as Liverpool's recent home draws suggest they can be got at. Odds correct at time of publication.

Medium confidence
Both sides line up in a 4-2-3-1, setting the stage for a tactically familiar contest at Anfield. Florian Wirtz operates as the creative fulcrum behind Alexander Isak, while Bradley Barcola offers width and pace to stretch Fulham's defensive shape.
Fulham's double pivot of Sander Berge and Shea Charles will be central to their ambitions of disrupting Liverpool's rhythm in midfield. Antonee Robinson at left-back will need to be alert to the threat posed down his flank throughout the afternoon.
