Jurgen Klopp will be delighted with the start to the season that Liverpool have made. The Reds could move to the top of the Premier League standings for the first time this season on Sunday, but they will need to claim maximum points at Anfield against West Ham United.
Premier League Preview
Liverpool look back to their best this term, and they could potentially move to the top of the Premier League standings for the first time this campaign on Sunday. The Reds are unbeaten across their opening five league matches this term, and they come into this fixture on Sunday looking to land a fifth straight victory.
Liverpool have scored 12 goals across their opening matches this term, and they have allowed just four goals, which is the second best defensive record in the competition. The Reds avoided the scare last weekend, as they came back from 1-0 down to record maximum points against Wolves. All of Liverpool’s goals in that victory were netted in the second half, with Cody Gakpo netting the equaliser early in the second half. Andrew Robertson scored the eventual winning goal in the 3-1 success.
West Ham will be the latest visitors to Anfield, and they will be looking to bounce back after suffering a first league defeat of the season last weekend. The Hammers saw their unbeaten start to the new campaign come to an end at the hands of the defending champions, as Man City picked up a 3-1 success at the London Stadium.
West Ham had made an excellent start to that fixture, as they opened the scoring after 36 minutes through James Ward-Prowse. However, City levelled the scores within a minute of the second half, and added two further efforts in the final 15 minutes of the match.
Liverpool vs West Ham Head to Head
Liverpool boasts an excellent record in this fixture, as they have won 19 of the 29 matches across all competitions. Over the same period, the Hammers have picked up just six wins. The Reds have also picked up victories in each of the last three, which includes back-to-back 1-0 wins in the last two at Anfield.
Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction
West Ham showed their class against Man City last weekend, despite dropping to defeat. They will cause Liverpool issues this weekend, but it appears challenging to see Liverpool’s winning run in recent weeks to come to an end on Sunday.
