Liverpool vs West Ham Soccer Betting Picks – Premier League
Winner of the Champions League in 2019, Liverpool confirmed their new status last year by winning, for the first time since 1990, an English league title with 18 points ahead of their closest pursuer. This season, the Reds are currently 2nd in the standings with 13 points gleaned in 6 games. Humiliated on the lawn of Aston Villa just before the international cut (7-2), they then conceded the sharing of points with rival Everton (2-2). Last weekend, Liverpool resumed their forward march by winning, at home, against Sheffield United (2-1). In the middle of the week, the Mersey club won against Midtjylland as part of the second day of the Champions League (2-0).
Last year, West Ham had to work at the end of the season (no defeat in the last 4 days) to finish 16th in the Premier League with 5 points ahead of the relegation zone. This year, the Hammers lost their first 2 league games before aligning 4 games unbeaten, current series. Very convincing against Wolverhampton (4-0) and Leicester (0-3) before the international break, they have since confirmed by facing Tottenham (3-3) and Manchester City last weekend (1-1).
The workforce for Liverpool vs West Ham
For Liverpool, defence boss van Dijk, rookies Thiago Alcantara and Tsimikas, defender Matip and midfielders Keïta and Oxlade-Chamberlain are all unavailable for this meeting. Weakened behind, the Reds are forced to descend Fabinho in the central hinge. After running this week in C1, Klopp could put his trio Salah-Firmino-Salah back in front.
The West Ham coach can count on his entire workforce for this trip to Anfield. David Moyes seems to have found the right formula with a solid midfield consisting of Rice and Soucek and an attacking trio Bowen-Pablo Fornals-Antonio. The latter scored a superb goal against Manchester City.
