Liverpool endured a frustrating start under Iraola, drawing their opening two Premier League matches against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. However, they have since found some momentum, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory at Ipswich with an impressive 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Fulham arrive at Anfield without a point from their opening three league fixtures. Arbeloa’s side have lost against Chelsea, Sunderland and Palace, conceding seven goals across those matches. There seems to be unrest at Craven Cottage, with lots of controversy surrounding Alvaro Arbeloa, so it looks like a good time to face Fulham.

The Reds will be confident that they can control the majority of possession at Anfield, with Fulham likely to defend deep. Arbeloa’s side allowed Palace to score three times despite having more of the ball, while Chelsea registered 18 shots worth 2.24xG during their opening-weekend victory at Craven Cottage.

Iraola’s Liverpool attack with width, allowing the fullbacks to advance and use overlapping runs to create space. That approach creates plenty of opportunities for crosses, shots and defensive clearances. Liverpool had seven corners against Atletico Madrid midweek, and this clash against Fulham looks like an easier matchup on paper.

Gonzalo Garcia has been active since arriving at Fulham, scoring on his debut against Chelsea before finding the net again in the EFL Cup. The former Real Madrid striker has looked eager to leave his mark since arriving in the Premier League, and his work rate has been commendable.

He committed two fouls against Chelsea on debut, before following that honesty another two infringements against Sunderland. He has landed this selection in all three league starts this term, averaging 1.57 fouls per 90, which makes this price stand out.

Alexander Isak opened his Premier League account for the season against Nottingham Forest, and he followed that up with a brace against Ipswich last weekend. The Swedish international scored twice inside the opening nine minutes, with both goals created by Cody Gakpo.

Isak retained his place against Atletico Madrid - despite failing to score, he did still record an assist. Isak is playing at full confidence at the moment, and he is the current joint-top scorer in the Premier League. He has looked back to his best after an injury-hit previous campaign, and will hope to extend his impressive form in the final third.

Dominik Szoboszlai continued his excellent start to the season by scoring Liverpool’s equaliser against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The Hungarian international reacted sharply inside the penalty area before finding the net, helping Iraola’s side recover from an early setback.

Szoboszlai remains a consistent threat from open play, but perhaps his greatest strength is his set-piece ability. He scored the most free-kicks in the Premier League last season, while also being the designated penalty taker for the Reds. There should be plenty of chances for Liverpool this weekend, and Szoboszlai is one to target.
