  • West Ham have managed only one win in their last 17 matches vs Liverpool, with their only success coming in November 2021.

Key Players to Watch

  • Liverpool – Mohamed Salah (Forward): The Egyptian star remains Liverpool’s talisman. His pace, finishing, and link-up play make him a constant danger, especially at home.
  • West Ham – Jarrod Bowen (Forward): Bowen has been West Ham’s most consistent attacking outlet. He’ll need to deliver a standout performance to keep his side competitive.

Tactical Analysis

Liverpool are expected to control possession and press high, targeting West Ham’s shaky defense. With a near-full strength squad and electric home support, they’ll look to kill the game early.

West Ham, on the other hand, may sit deep and rely on counter-attacks led by Bowen. However, their leaky backline may be unable to withstand Liverpool’s forward firepower for 90 minutes.

Prediction

With form, history, and confidence heavily favoring the hosts, anything less than three points for Liverpool would be a surprise.

Predicted Score: Liverpool 3-0 West Ham
