Liverpool Remains Unbeaten

Liverpool has yet to lose through its opening three Premier League matches. The Reds began with a 2-2 draw at Newcastle before playing Nottingham Forest to another 2-2 draw at Anfield.

Liverpool then delivered its best result of the young campaign with a 2-0 road victory over Ipswich. That improved the Reds to five points from three matches with six goals scored and four conceded.

The progression is encouraging. Liverpool allowed two goals in each of its opening two matches before recording its first league clean sheet against Ipswich. Returning to Anfield against a Fulham side that has lost all three league matches gives Liverpool an opportunity to turn its unbeaten start into consecutive victories.

Fulham Desperately Needs a Result

Fulham enters Saturday at 0-0-3 in Premier League play. The visitors opened their campaign with a 3-2 home loss against Chelsea before suffering a 1-0 defeat at Sunderland.

Fulham's problems continued with a 3-2 home loss against Crystal Palace. Through three league matches, Fulham has scored four goals while conceding seven, producing a -3 goal differential and zero points.

There have been signs that Fulham can create chances. The club has scored twice in two of its three league matches, but defensive problems have prevented those goals from translating into points. Facing Liverpool at Anfield represents another major challenge for a side still searching for its first point.

Liverpool vs Fulham Picks and Prediction

Pick: Liverpool -1

Liverpool's -225 moneyline is difficult to recommend as the primary betting selection because the price requires considerable investment for a relatively modest return. Moving to Liverpool -1 provides a better risk-reward profile while still protecting against a one-goal Liverpool victory with a push. Fulham has lost all three Premier League matches and has already surrendered seven goals, while Liverpool enters unbeaten and just recorded its first clean sheet. Liverpool should control most of this match at Anfield, and the handicap provides the more attractive way to back the favorite. Take Liverpool -1.

Pick: Under 3.5 Goals

The additional goal of protection makes Under 3.5 more attractive than forcing an Under 2.5 position. Liverpool's most recent league match finished 2-0, while Fulham was held scoreless in its only road Premier League appearance of the season. Liverpool should control possession and territory, but that doesn't necessarily mean this develops into a shootout. Fulham's most likely approach at Anfield is to protect space and attempt to remain within striking distance rather than trade chances with the favorite. A 2-0 or 3-0 Liverpool result fits the matchup well. Take Under 3.5 goals.

Final Picks: Liverpool -1 and Under 3.5 Goals
