Two matches, two draws, and Liverpool punters are still waiting for that first win of the season. The Reds welcome Fulham to Anfield on Sunday, 13 September at 12:00 am AEST, and the market reckons this is where Jürgen Klopp's men finally get the three points — Liverpool have firmed from $1.42 to $1.40, while Fulham have drifted out to $6.50 after losing both their opening fixtures.
It's been a frustrating start at Anfield. Liverpool held Nottingham Forest to a 2–2 draw in their last outing on 29 August, having also shared the points 2–2 away to Newcastle on 24 August. Four goals scored, four conceded, and two points on the board leaves them sitting 13th on the ladder. Fulham, meanwhile, are down in 16th with zero points — they went down 0–1 away to Sunderland on 30 August after losing 2–3 at home to Chelsea on 25 August.
The draw price has drifted from $4.70 to $4.80, suggesting punters are backing Liverpool to finally click at home. Our premier league predictions lean the same way, though the Reds' inability to close out games in the opening fortnight means there's a yarn to be told around the line market as well.
Who will win at Anfield?
Liverpool's two draws tell a tale of a side finding their feet — they've scored in both matches but haven't been able to shut the door. Coming off that 2–2 result against Nottingham Forest at Anfield, there's a sense the home crowd is still waiting for the gears to fully engage. Fulham, on the other hand, arrive on the back of a 0–1 defeat to Sunderland — their second straight loss and their second blank in as many outings on the road.
The ladder positions paint a clear picture: Liverpool on two points and even on goal difference, Fulham on zero with a minus-two differential. The visitors have managed just two goals across their opening two fixtures, both of which came in that home loss to Chelsea. On the road, they've been shut out entirely, and now they face a Liverpool outfit that's scored four times in their last five overall — two in each of their two starts.
There's no recent head-to-head history in the pack to lean on, but the market has spoken. Liverpool firming from $1.42 to $1.40 tells you where the weight of money is landing, and Fulham drifting to $6.50 suggests punters see this as a mismatch. The draw at $4.80 is out there for those who reckon Liverpool's slow start continues, but the form lines point to the Reds breaking through at home.

Can Fulham cover the line?
Liverpool are laying a goal on the line — they're $2.15 to win by two or more, while Fulham are $2.95 to stay within a goal or pinch it outright. That Fulham price has drifted from $2.90, and it's not hard to see why: the visitors have shipped four goals in two matches and haven't won either.
The Reds' two draws both finished level at 2–2, so they haven't blown anyone away yet. But Fulham's away form is concerning — they were held to zero in that Sunderland loss, and their only goals this season came in a home defeat. Liverpool have shown they can find the net, and at Anfield with the crowd behind them, laying a goal doesn't look a bridge too far if they can tighten up at the back.
Fulham's drifting line price suggests the market sees them struggling to keep this close. If Liverpool finally hit their straps, a two-goal margin is well within reach against a side that's yet to pick up a point.

Liverpool-1last 2
Same Game Multi angles
Same Game Multi is on the board for this one, and the pack highlights a few combos worth a glance. Bradley Barcola to score anytime pairs with a Liverpool win and over 9.5 corners at $4.00, while the same Barcola prop combines with over 6.5 corners at $2.50. There's also a roughie at $34 if you fancy Barcola to score, Fulham to win, and over 9.5 corners — though that last leg would require a seismic upset.
The Liverpool win and over 6.5 Liverpool corners with Barcola anytime is priced at $4.60, suggesting the bookies reckon the Reds will be on the front foot. These combos are firmly in the entertainment basket, but they do reflect the expectation that Liverpool will dominate possession and territory.
