Liverpool host winless Fulham at Anfield

Form points opposite ways

Liverpool's last five recent matches show three wins and two draws. Fulham's last five show two wins and three defeats, the losses all arriving in their last three outings. A win here would lift Liverpool to eight points from four matches; defeat would leave Fulham on zero points from four, still searching for their first of the campaign.

Liverpool's win comes with a worry was published after their most recent result, a 2–1 victory. Before that they drew 2–2 twice in succession, then won 2–0. Fulham opened with a 1–0 win and a 3–0 win, then lost three in a row by a single goal, by two goals and by a single goal again.

What the market expects

The market-implied result probability has Liverpool at 65.8 per cent, the draw at 19.5 per cent and Fulham at 14.7 per cent. That assessment aligns with the table positions and the recent run: the home side have won three of their last five, the visitors have lost three of theirs, and Liverpool have not lost any while Fulham have not drawn any. The last five meetings between the two contain nineteen goals in total and produced three different results: Liverpool won two, Fulham won one, and two finished level.
