The betting angle: Reds to pile pressure on Nuno’s Hammers?
Liverpool are finding ways to win even when not at their brilliant best. Sitting sixth in the table, they arrive fresh off a dramatic 97th-minute victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend, courtesy of an Alexis Mac Allister strike.
The Reds have won five of their last six games across all competitions, and their home form remains formidable, having lost just one of their last ten matches at Anfield. With Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike leading the line, Arne Slot will expect a dominant performance to keep the pressure on the teams above them.
West Ham, currently managed by Nuno Espírito Santo following Graham Potter’s early-season sacking, are enduring a turbulent campaign. The Irons are languishing in 18th place and missed a massive opportunity to escape the bottom three after playing out a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth last time out.
History is completely against the visitors; West Ham have an abysmal record at Anfield and have lost 26 of their 29 away encounters against previous Premier League champions. They will be relying heavily on captain Jarrod Bowen to produce a moment of magic.
Given West Ham’s struggles on the road and Liverpool’s fierce motivation to secure Champions League football, a comfortable home win looks extremely likely.
- Our tip: Liverpool to win -1 Handicap.
- The longshot: Hugo Ekitike to score anytime.
