Liverpool have a clear home-market advantage, have scored in every competitive match this season and won at home in midweek. Fulham are on a three-match league losing run and concede 2.33 goals per game. However, Liverpool's full-strength Champions League effort and injury concerns keep the draw in play.

Liverpool's recent momentum is strong after beating Atletico Madrid midweek, and their home advantage at Anfield is significant. Fulham are in dire form with three consecutive defeats, conceding 2.33 goals per game and showing a 100% loss rate when falling behind away from home. Both bookmaker odds and prediction models favor the home side. However, Liverpool's midweek Champions League exertion with full-strength lineup raises fatigue concerns, while injuries to Gakpo, Kerkez and others weaken attacking and defensive options. Fulham manager Arbeloa's emotional return to his former club adds extra motivation. Expect Liverpool to secure a narrow home win, but not a comfortable margin.

Liverpool has scored in the first half in 9 of its last 10 league games, averaging 2 goals per game, with strong recent form after winning 2-1 against Atletico Madrid; Fulham has lost its last three league matches, suffered 100% away losses when trailing, and shows defensive instability with 2.33 goals conceded per game. Despite manager Álvaro Arbeloa's special attachment to Anfield, Fulham's pressure from three straight defeats makes it difficult to stop Liverpool's momentum at home.

Liverpool dominate this fixture at Anfield and Isak is sharp, with the attack averaging two goals a game; but a full-strength midweek European tie leaves tired legs and Gakpo is a doubt, while the defence keeps conceding. Fulham arrive with a fit squad and Arbeloa's motivation on his return to Anfield, yet they have lost three straight, scored no away goals and concede 2.33 per game. A narrow home win is the most likely outcome, with 2-1 best matching both profiles.
Liverpool played a full-strength European tie in midweek, so fatigue plus doubts over Gakpo and Kerkez raise the risk of conceding after the break
Fulham are desperate to end a three-game losing run and Arbeloa knows Anfield well; if Liverpool surrender the lead, their defence can be exposed on the counter
