Liverpool return to Anfield this Sunday, determined to steady the ship after a turbulent few weeks, as they host a struggling West Ham side in Premier League action.
Liverpool vs West Ham: Match preview
Despite still sitting firmly atop the table with 73 points, the Reds have stumbled in recent games, losing three of their last four matches across all competitions. A 3-1 defeat to Fulham last weekend after painful exits from both the Champions League (courtesy of PSG) and the Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle. While their position as league leaders remains intact, those setbacks have cast a temporary shadow over what’s been a dominant campaign.
Arne Slot’s side, however, remains focused, and Sunday’s fixture presents the perfect opportunity to bounce back against a West Ham team that has been woefully out of form.
The Hammers have all but secured top-flight survival, currently sitting 16th with 35 points. Yet their performances have done little to inspire confidence. With just one victory from their last five premier league matches, Graham’s side enter Anfield as clear underdogs.
Historically, this fixture hasn’t been kind to West Ham either. They’ve managed only one win in their last ten meetings with Liverpool in all competitions—who have taken maximum points in eight of those clashes, with one draw rounding out the record.
Unavailable Players for Liverpool include: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, while tha of West Ham are: Aaron Cresswell, Michail Antonio, Crysencio Summerville according to Livescore.com
With home advantage and a vastly superior run of form, Liverpool will be expected to get back to winning ways and extend their dominance over the Hammers. For West Ham, survival might be nearly secured, but their prospects of taking anything from Anfield appear slim unless they can produce a dramatic turnaround.
