Another weekend brings another fascinating round of fixtures from the English Premier League. A dramatic month of April continues with seven games on the schedule as teams battle for positition at both ends of the table. The title fight rages on as Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal battle for supremacy while teams are pushing for a European finish or aiming to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
The curtain goes up on Saturday’s schedule in London where West Ham United host Liverpool from 12:30 GMT in a game you can follow live on television. The Hammers are stumbling towards the finish line following a drop in form but believe they can hold on to secure another European finish. They welcome a Liverpool side pushing for pole position in the league as the Reds hope to win their first title since 2020, sending manager Jurgen Klopp off into the sunset.
Hammers suffer a dip in form
West Ham started the week sitting eighth in the Premier League with their stats for the campaign showing 13 wins, nine draws and 12 defeats, scoring 54 goals but conceding 63. The team from Stratford, East London haven’t been at their best and recent form suggests they may have already run their race. But do the Hammers have one final push left in the tank and can they finish with a flurry, climbing the charts towards a return to the Europa League. It’s certainly possible at this stage.
David Moyes’ side suffered an embarrassing defeat across the city at Crystal Palace last Sunday when losing 5-2 against Crystal Palace. It was a game the Hammers were favourites to win, but lovers of the EPL know Palace isn’t a team to take lightly and the Eagles reminded us of their strengths. Crystal Palace won a seven-goal thriller, scoring five to secure a valuable three points following an impressive display.
Reds in the mix
We’re fast-approaching the business end of the season with the Premier League gearing up for a grandstand finish. Liverpool are in the mix for the title and there’s little between the club from Anfield, Arsenal and the four-in-a-row chasing Mancheser City. Every point won and in the coming weeks could be huge in the title race, but Liverpool knows they’re in charge of their destiny. They are potential Premier League champions.
Bet hereKlopp’s men caught the eye last weekend when making a timely return to winning ways, beating Fulham 3-1 in London. It was a game they were expected to win, but Liverpool deserves credit for getting the job done as they beat a capable Cottagers who have proven a banana skin for many big-name teams this term. The teams were tied at 1-1 at the break, but Liverpool enjoyed a strong second half.
West Ham vs Liverpool prediction
West Ham holds the home advantage for this game and they’ll enjoy the backing of a sizable support on Saturday. The locals will be out in force as they hope to see their team hurt the title hopes and dreams of Liverpool. The Hammers can’t win the Premier League, but they will have an important say in which team does lift the trophy.
Liverpool know what’s expected of them in London and they’ll be chasing more of the same after beating Fulham last weekend. If the Reds are at their best, they have the firepower to win this game and turn up the heat on their rivals. A victory would put them in the driving seat, at least until the rivals in the title race take to the pitch.
