Liverpool vs Fulham Predictions

• Liverpool have won successive games against Ipswich and Atletico Madrid
• Fulham are without a Premier League point after three games
• The Cottagers have conceded 10 goals in their last four trips to Anfield

Reds have homework to complete

Andoni Iraola will be delighted to have landed back-to-back wins over Ipswich in the league and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League to open his Liverpool account.

Now the Reds boss must start to ensure Anfield is a Premier League fortress. The Merseysiders have won just two of their last six home league games, with four draws.

A visit from Fulham and rookie boss Alvaro Arbeloa offers Liverpool a good platform. The Londoners are winless in six league games on the road and have lost seven of the last nine at Anfield.

Goals likely to flow

Liverpool have scored exactly two goals in all four games under Iraola and have twice drawn 2-2 in the league already.

Fulham’s 1-0 loss at Sunderland was sandwiched between 3-2 Premier League losses against Chelsea and Crystal Palace and they have looked too open under Arbeloa.

They have scored in three of their last four trips to Anfield and can make a contribution against a home side also still trying to find defensive solidity under new management with Liverpool guilty of coughing up chances.

Isak now on goal alert

Three goals and an assist in two games for Alexander Isak is just what the Swede needed. Last season was essentially a write-off after his protracted move from Newcastle but he was Liverpool’s matchwinner at Portman Road and was effective again in midweek against Atletico.

He is a proven scorer in this league and it won’t be a shock if the goals start to flow with regularity.
