Liverpool Vs West Ham Premier League Prediction , Match Preview & Odds
▶️ Scroll Down for Live Link 👇Liverpool and West Ham are set to face off in a Premier League match on Merseyside this weekend. Both teams had successful starts in the Europa League on Thursday. Liverpool came from behind to defeat Austrian side LASK, securing Jurgen Klopp's 50th victory in European competition. Meanwhile, West Ham also had to rally to win against Serbian leaders Backa Topola, with summer signing Mohammed Kudus scoring his first goal for the Hammers.
Liverpool is expected to continue without Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring). However, Klopp confirmed that summer signing Ryan Gravenberch's substitution on Thursday was due to cramp.
West Ham might be missing Jarred Bowen due to a virus, and Aaron Cresswell's hamstring injury is being assessed. Edson Alvarez is available after serving a suspension from his time at Ajax.
In terms of predictions, West Ham will likely need a game plan similar to their successful performance against Brighton last month, where they won despite having only 22% possession. They'll face an in-form Liverpool side that dominates possession at home and creates numerous chances. It might be challenging for West Ham to replicate such a perfect away performance, especially considering Liverpool's recent habit of falling behind before recovering.
In terms of historical head-to-head matchups, West Ham has struggled against Liverpool, losing 11 of their last 13 encounters. Liverpool did the double over West Ham last season and hasn't lost to them at Anfield since 2015.
The current odds favor Liverpool to win, but West Ham has been performing well early in the season, with both teams having a strong start and only one loss between them in the league so far.
Overall, this matchup brings together two clubs that have improved after disappointing seasons in the previous year, with both Liverpool and West Ham showing promise with their early-season performances.
