1 month ago 0 70

Liverpool return to Premier League action at Anfield following a week’s break, hosting an unpredictable Fulham side. Arne Slot's men are in stellar form, boasting a near-perfect record at home this season, but Fulham’s recent resilience against top-tier opponents adds intrigue to this fixture.

Liverpool: Setting Records Under Slot

Today's home team have been dominant under new manager Arne Slot, with 38 points from 15 games within reach—a potential Premier League record for a new manager. The Reds have kept four consecutive clean sheets at home, shutting out top teams like Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, and Manchester City.

Liverpool have won 19 of their 22 matches under Arne Slot, including 10 of their 11 home games.
Fulham are unbeaten in three away matches, their best run since 2021.

Prediction

While Liverpool are heavy favorites, Fulham’s ability to trouble top sides could make this a competitive match. Expect a high-paced game with chances for both teams, but Liverpool’s home dominance should see them through.

Betting Tip

We believe Liverpool will win, but the home odds of 1.40 are a bit slim. Mo Salah is in red-hot form, and we expect the Egyptian to score again. A bet on Salah as a goalscorer is priced at 1.67 with Betsson, and we’re staking 4 units.
