Team analysis: West Ham
West Ham are in solid form ahead of Liverpool’s arrival at the London Stadium, as they are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games. Although they have picked up a significant number of points in the last period, including a win over Southampton, they must be aware of the challenge ahead of them in this match. The main problem for them is the injury of several key players. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was suddenly injured during the game against Southampton, while Max Kilman and Carlos Soler are also out with injuries. In midfield, West Ham will be weakened by the suspensions of Guido Rodríguez and Tomas Soucek, which is an added blow to the team, given that both are key players.
The return of Lucas Paquete from suspension gives West Ham hope, as does the potential return of Edson Alvarez to midfield, who could help balance the pitch. West Ham must improve their defensive line, which is prone to big mistakes at times, especially against attacking teams like Liverpool. Even though they are at home, it is hard to expect them to come up against a team like Liverpool, who are in great form.
Team analysis: Liverpool
Liverpool are currently in the best form in the Premier League, with a run of wins and some fantastic performances in recent games. The team is led by Mohamed Salah, who has continued his impressive performances, including his 100th Premier League home goal. Coach Arne Slott managed to raise the team to top performances, and his team is currently at the top of the table and seems invincible, especially in attack.
However, Liverpool have several injury and suspension problems ahead of this match. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are out with injuries, while Dominik Szoboszlai will not be available due to suspension. However, Liverpool have enough depth in the squad to deal with these issues, with Curtis Jones, as well as potential returnees Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, expected to take on key roles in attack.
Although the visitors are the favorites in this match, Liverpool must be careful about their defense, because in the last matches they showed weaknesses in the defense, conceding at least two goals in several matches. However, their attacking power is too strong for most teams, including West Ham.
Betting suggestion: Over 3.5 goals
Although West Ham have shown solid form, it is hard to expect them to match Liverpool in this match, especially with all the injuries and suspensions plaguing them. Liverpool are in phenomenal form and with the attacking power they possess, they are likely to score a few goals. Given that Liverpool have had problems in defense in recent games, as well as the fact that West Ham can create chances, it is expected that there could be a lot of goals.
The game is expected to have at least four goals given both teams’ attacking abilities and defensive weaknesses.
