Liverpool vs West Ham predictions: Hammers can strike in defeat
&w=707&quality=100)
- Liverpool have conceded in four of their last five competitive games
- West Ham have scored in nine of their last 10 competitive away games
- Recommended bet: Liverpool to win and both teams to score
Liverpool suffered a third defeat in four games against Fulham last weekend, but the champions-elect should be able to bounce back in style against a struggling West Ham side on Sunday.
The Hammers may be on the brink of securing Premier League safety, but they have had a poor season all things considered and could be in for a rough time at Anfield.
Team news
Defensive duo Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez both remain sidelined for Liverpool, but those are the only injury concerns that Arne Slot has to deal with.
Aaron Cresswell has been added to West Ham’s injury list, joining attackers Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville on the sidelines.
The stats
&w=707&quality=100)
Both teams have scored in six of Liverpool’s last eight home league games.
Liverpool have scored 17 goals in their last four meetings with West Ham.
West Ham have scored in defeat in four of their last six meetings with Liverpool.
Both teams to score has landed in six of West Ham’s last nine top-flight away games.
Prediction
An incredible 15 minutes saw Fulham recover from a 1-0 deficit to lead 3-1 at home to Liverpool last weekend, but the table-topping Reds can bounce back with a victory against an out-of-form visiting side.
Liverpool hold an 11-point lead at the top of the Premier League, but their Champions League elimination to Paris Saint-Germain, their Carabao Cup final defeat to Newcastle, and last weekend’s loss at Fulham have dampened enthusiasm somewhat, and Arne Slot will be hoping to get the title train back on the tracks against West Ham.
The visiting Hammers are all but safe from any threat of relegation, but their 35-point tally is far from impressive and they head to Merseyside winless in their last four matches.
Anfield — and Liverpool in general — has not been kind to West Ham fans in recent seasons, either. The Hammers have lost five of their last six meetings with Liverpool and conceded an astonishing 22 goals in the process, although it is worth noting that they have scored in five of these six encounters.
Graham Potter’s side have also scored in 10 of their last 11 competitive away games, and they could carve out some openings against a home side that has kept just one clean sheet in their last five games, making Liverpool to win and both teams to score an attractive option.
