Premier League: West Ham vs Liverpool Live
Preview: West Ham vs Liverpool
West Ham vs Liverpool is set to come off at the London Stadium on Saturday at 11:30am as both teams seek to get back to winning ways after disappointing defeats in their various games before this match up. The Hammers are looking to bounce back from their recent defeats against Fulham and Crystal Palace whiles the Reds seek to recover from their Merseyside derby loss.
The hammers will face Liverpool in the early Premier League match this weekend, with both teams showing signs of fatigue as the season nears its end. Both teams were recently knocked out of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, and West Ham suffered a disappointing 5-2 loss to Crystal Palace, damaging their chances of finishing in the top seven. West Ham has struggled with just one win in their last seven league games, but their home record has been strong with only two defeats in their last 18 home matches.
In this campaign, Liverpool has secured two victories against West Ham, with wins of 3-1 and 5-1 at Anfield in the league and Carabao Cup. This could potentially lead to Liverpool achieving a rare feat of beating the hammers three times in a single season, something they have not accomplished in their ten previous attempts.
To maintain their slim chances of winning the title, Liverpool must continue this trend, especially after a recent 2-0 loss in the Merseyside derby. Despite the odds favoring Liverpool, their recent performances have not been up to their usual standards, possibly due to their frequent away games. Jürgen Klopp needs to inspire his team to replicate their impressive 3-1 victory over Fulham in their last trip to London if they want to keep their hopes alive for a Premier League title this season.
Head-to-head
Liverpool has secured two dominant victories against West Ham this season, scoring a total of eight goals in the process. The Reds will enter their upcoming match against West Ham with a winning streak of five consecutive victories over the team.
Prediction
Both struggling teams are in need of a win to boost their chances of meeting their season goals. Liverpool is favored to win against the hammers on Saturday due to their recent success against them. West Ham could pose a threat, especially if Bowen is back, but we predict that Klopp’s team will recover and secure a victory.
