- Liverpool have scored 2.00 and conceded 2.00 goals per home league match so far this season, suggesting an open contest at Anfield.
- Fulham have scored 0.00 and conceded 1.00 away goals per game on their only trip away in the Premier League 2026/2027 season.
- Alexander Isak has scored three goals in three Premier League 2026/2027 matches for Liverpool. Gonzalo Garcia has scored one in two appearances for Fulham.
Familiar setbacks may strike Fulham
Liverpool are the short-priced favorites at 1.47 for Saturday's Premier League 2026/2027 clash with Fulham, which isn't surprising given that the Cottagers are 18th in the table with zero points from three matches.
That means Fulham will be under pressure from the off on Saturday and it's not impossible that Liverpool can grab a win, but the 6.0 available on the visitors is too big to ignore.
The draw is also big at 5.0, but the Reds are unbeaten in three after tying 2-2 with Newcastle away, drawing 2-2 with Nottingham Forest at home and beating Ipswich Town 2-0 away earlier today, so the form book suggests they should have enough to edge this contest.
Lively Liverpool can unlock Cottagers defence
Álvaro Arbeloa took charge of Fulham on 8 July 2026 and has installed a wide, possession-based 4-2-3-1/4-3-4 system that is more aggressive in pressing than we've seen from the Cottagers in recent years. The visitors have lost their last two league games, going down 1-0 to Sunderland in the away fixture before suffering a 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace at home. The only respite from those setbacks was a 3-0 EFL Cup win at National League side AFC Wimbledon.
Andoni Iraola has overseen Liverpool since 1 July 2026 and his high-pressing 4-2-3-1 has given the Reds a real front-foot bite that should suit them well against Fulham.
Isak to tip the scales in favour of hosts
The hosts have failed to win their only Premier League 2026/2027 home game so far, but they have a free-scoring forward Alexander Isak to trouble Fulham, as he has three goals in his three Premier League 2026/2027 appearances. The Cottagers' main goal threat will again be Gonzalo Garcia, who has one in his two Premier League 2026/2027 outings.
Fulham's overloaded wing play can create a few moments in this game, but Liverpool's vertical pressing and ability to transition quickly should see the midfield battle tilt in their favour. Over 2.5 goals at 1.43 looks the sharp alternative to the short odds on the home side as both systems tilt towards attack, but the best bet is to take the hosts to nick it.
Liverpool currently sit sixth in the Premier League 2026/2027 with five points from their first three games and are already playing catch-up to the early pace-setters. Fulham are still looking for their first Premier League 2026/2027 away win after one trip and have already failed that test.
Cody Gakpo has been the orchestrator for Liverpool this season with three assists in his first three Premier League 2026/2027 games and could be a good outside bet to grab one at Anfield on Saturday.
