Liverpool roundup: unbeaten start, Isak leading the line and Bournemouth next

Where Liverpool stand

Four matches into the new Premier League season, Liverpool are unbeaten — though wins have been scarce. According to the Premier League table, one win and three draws from four games have yielded six points, with six goals scored and four conceded. The form line reads DWDD, with the table's form data showing two straight draws. That leaves Liverpool eighth, six points behind Arsenal and Manchester City, who both hold perfect 12-point records at the top.

The results on record

The only win of the campaign so far came on the road, a 2-0 victory at Ipswich Town. The draws on the record are home stalemates: 0-0 against Fulham and 2-2 against Nottingham Forest, with the table confirming three draws in total across the four matches played.

Who is scoring

FanTribe's scoring data has A. Isak well clear at the top of the club chart with three goals — half of Liverpool's league total. Behind him, the goals have been shared out one at a time:

• A. Isak — 3 goals
• C. Gakpo — 1 goal
• D. Szoboszlai — 1 goal
• V. Munoz — 1 goal

Six goals in four games is a workable return, but the distribution underlines how much of the attack currently runs through Isak.

Next up: Bournemouth away

Liverpool travel to the Vitality Stadium on Sunday 20 September to face an AFC Bournemouth side sitting 15th with three points — still winless, per the table, with three draws and a defeat from four. Bookmaker odds via api_football, as of 14 September, make Liverpool favourites at 2.09, with Bournemouth at 3.1 and the draw at 3.8. Those prices translate into bookmaker-derived implied probabilities of 45% for a Liverpool win, 30% for Bournemouth and 25% for the draw — a market leaning towards the visitors, but with more than half of the probability lying elsewhere.

FanTribe's points on offer reflect the same picture: 42 points for a correctly tipped Liverpool win, 76 for the draw and 62 for a Bournemouth victory — the stalemate carries the richest reward.

Then Manchester City come to Anfield

The calendar then delivers Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday 11 October. City sit second on 12 points with four straight wins, and the bookmakers make them favourites at 2.15 — a 43% implied probability — with Liverpool at 3.0 (31%) and the draw at 3.66 (26%). FanTribe's points on offer for that one: 60 for a Liverpool win, 73 for the draw and 43 for a City victory.

The FanTribe view

Liverpool's FanTribe community currently numbers 16 fans. With an unbeaten record to protect, Isak's scoring chart to follow and two heavyweight fixtures on the points board between now and mid-October, there is plenty for supporters to get their teeth into — starting with the trip to the south coast.
