A meeting between teams of obviously different levels this season awaits. The leaders of the English Premier League, Liverpool, who have accumulated 76 points in 26 matches. They will face one of the league's underdogs – West Ham, who have only secured 24 points in the same number of matches.
Liverpool
There is no need to talk much about Liverpool this season. Most already know that they are playing impressively, and although they suffered a defeat against Atletico, they are still the best team in Europe at the moment. In the Premier League, they have not suffered a single defeat and only one draw. The return match against Atletico is still two weeks away, so there should be no saving for today's match. Moreover, Liverpool takes every match seriously. The team needs to reach its peak performance and maintain a good atmosphere before the next match against Atletico. Defeats would certainly not help. Henderson, Shaqiri, Clyne, and Larouci will not help the team today. Mane, Salah, and Firmino should play.
West Ham
This team is one of the biggest disappointments of this season. We believed that the game would improve after the coach change, but that is far from the case. They have not won 7 matches in a row. And although the team's lineup is certainly not bad, the game they are showing is tragic. With major problems in attack and a porous defense, it will be especially difficult against Liverpool. Fredericks, Wilshere, and Yarmolenko will not help the team today.
Choice
So, Liverpool has not conceded a goal in their fortress in the Premier League for 7 matches in a row, and they themselves score an average of 2.69. West Ham, in very poor form, is coming. After the defeat, Liverpool will seek to boost the team's morale and win in front of their fans. The last two head-to-head meetings at Anfield ended with Liverpool's victories of 4:0 and 4:1. Something similar could be expected today. We believe that Liverpool will probably lose at least once this season in the Premier League, but today, against West Ham, that should not happen.
