Liverpool vs Fulham: a first win against a side still stuck on zero points 
Fulham have zero points after three Premier League rounds. Liverpool have just picked up their first win of the season at Portman Road and also steadied the ship in the Champions League by seeing off Atletico Madrid at Anfield (2-1) on Wednesday night.
Matchday four sends the Cottagers to Anfield on Saturday, September 12, kicking off at 3:00pm UK time.
The gap between the two clubs in the table is the starkest of the weekend.
Liverpool opened the campaign with back-to-back 2-2 draws before finally getting off the mark.
Fulham, by contrast, have lost all three of their opening games, including the latest one at home to Crystal Palace.
Alvaro Arbeloa has yet to taste victory since taking over at Craven Cottage.
On paper, the mismatch is obvious, which shifts the focus to how heavy the damage might be rather than who gets the points.
Liverpool: Isak’s nine-minute double gets the season moving 
Liverpool beat Ipswich Town 2-0 on September 4, a win built inside the opening quarter of an hour.
Alexander Isak struck in the sixth and ninth minutes, ending the contest before it had even settled.
That fast start came after the first two rounds, both ending 2-2.
Defensively, though, the Reds have been all over the place early on, shipping six goals across their opening three league games.
The treatment room explains some of that imbalance: Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are all out.
Federico Chiesa also misses out, which trims the attacking options out wide.
A return to Anfield comes at just the right time for a side that needs to rebuild some defensive rhythm.
Against a team that still has nothing to show for its efforts, there is room to take a more attacking approach.
Isak heads into this one with the swagger of a striker who just settled a game in nine minutes.
Try it for $0.99.
Fulham: three games, three defeats, and a defence that cracks every time 
Fulham are one of the last two Premier League clubs still on zero points after three matches.
Chelsea, Sunderland and Crystal Palace have all left with maximum points from the season’s opening stretch.
The latest defeat was the most telling. Leading 2-1 at half-time through King and Palacios, the Cottagers still ended up losing 3-2 at Craven Cottage.
Tyrick Mitchell scored twice and Ben Chilwell settled it in the 77th minute.
Blowing a lead at home after being ahead at the break says plenty about this team’s ability to see a result out over 90 minutes.
Fulham have conceded in every game since the season began, no exceptions.
Tom Cairney also misses this one, leaving the midfield without its main link in the build-up.
The trip to Liverpool is the hardest assignment on their September schedule for a side still searching for its bearings.
The situation points Arbeloa towards a low block, with the risk of spending long spells under the cosh against an attack that has finally found its touch.

Premier League prediction Liverpool vs Fulham
Our prediction: Liverpool to win with a -1.5 goal handicap
The straight Liverpool win is priced too short to be worth bothering with on its own.
The handicap evens things out and leans on a simple fact: Fulham have conceded in all three of their matches and have not taken a single point.
Isak has already shown at Ipswich that he can kill a game in nine minutes, and Anfield is the perfect stage for a repeat.
The -1.5 goal handicap on Liverpool is the play here.
in your pocket.

First, a word on our free picks
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks obvious, it rarely is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will lose at some point.
- The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all: do not chase losses, because that usually ends badly.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking over your day, winds you up or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if you need to, speak to a specialist organisation. That is what they are there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can quickly spiral out of control, leading to financial losses, family tension and addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK?

No commitment from us
Our predictions are not contracts. They carry no legal weight. In plain English: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet loses.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes (like Liverpool’s, for example), a player gets injured, the weather turns nasty… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your responsibility
Before you bet, make sure gambling is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We cannot say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you are struggling to keep control, do not wait to get help. We cannot be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
Legal age
mathodds content is for adults only. By using this site, you confirm that you are of legal age to bet.
