Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips

All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah, fresh from signing a new contract and hungry to end his four-game scoring drought, as Liverpool vs West Ham promises goals at both ends.

Liverpool vs. West Ham preview

League leaders Liverpool will look to bounce back from their shock 3-2 defeat at Fulham when they host struggling West Ham this Sunday at Anfield.

The Reds, sitting comfortably with an 11-point cushion at the top, have hit a rough patch lately with recent losses in the Champions League and Carabao Cup final taking some shine off their otherwise brilliant season.

Anfield has been a fortress for Arne Slot's men who are eyeing their sixth consecutive home win, though they'll need to navigate the absence of defensive duo Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

West Ham arrive in dire form – without a win in their last four league matches and having been thumped 5-0 by Liverpool earlier this season, they'll miss both Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio through injury.

Mo Salah, fresh from signing a new contract this week, will be hungry to end his unusual four-game scoring drought and add to his impressive tally of 27 league goals this campaign.

The Egyptian has a remarkable record against the Hammers with 13 career goals against them, making him the obvious danger man for Graham Potter's side to contain.

While the visitors have managed to score in nine of their last ten away fixtures, their record of seven defeats and one draw in their last eight meetings with Liverpool doesn't inspire much confidence.

History suggests another Liverpool victory is on the cards, though West Ham's consistent away scoring record could see them grab a consolation in what's likely to be a spirited but ultimately futile challenge to the title-chasers.
