Form
Liverpool’s hopes of winning the Premier League table were dealt a major blow on Wednesday as they went down to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of local rivals, Everton at Goodison Park. The Reds have now won just one of their past four league games and sit third in the Premier League with just four games left to play.
Meanwhile, West Ham United’s own aspirations of European qualification look to be fading following a poor run of just one win in seven Premier League games. The Hammers did not play in midweek but were on the receiving end of a 5-2 drubbing at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
West Ham United v Liverpool: Head-to-Head
Liverpool have an excellent record against West Ham United, losing just one of the last 16 matches the sides have contested. The Reds have already defeated West Ham United twice this season, winning 3-1 at Anfield in the Premier League reverse fixture before easing to a 5-1 League Cup fifth round win at the same venue in December.
The corresponding fixture between these sides at the London Stadium last season ended 2-1 in favour of Liverpool. West Ham United took an early lead through Lucas Paqueta but goals in each half for Cody Gakpo and Joel Matip ensured Liverpool claimed all three points.
Betting Tips
As Jurgen Klopp’s reign as Liverpool manager nears the end, The Reds cannot afford to drop any more points in the Premier League title race. You have to fancy the visitors to get a result away at a West Ham United side bereft of any confidence.
In Wednesday’s defeat at Everton, Mohamed Salah looked a shadow of the player that has so often lit up the Premier League but we’re backing the Liverpool forward to bounce back emphatically in East London on Saturday. Salah has scored in both matches against West Ham United this season and is 8/11 to score at any time this weekend. Alternatively you can back Salah to score first at 3/1 or 7/2 to score two or more.
Salah isn’t the only player to score in both Liverpool v West Ham United fixtures played this season, West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen has also scored on each occasion and is 19/10 to score at any time on Saturday.
