West Ham United vs Liverpool: Preview and Predictions

West Ham United vs Liverpool
English Premier League
Date: Sunday, 14th May 2017
Kick off at 14:15 UK/ 15:15 CET
Venue: London Stadium.

Liverpool will have the imperative to pick up points from London Stadium, but it will be much easier said than done for Jurgen Klopp and his men considering the Hammers’ current form.

West Ham United have nowhere to go in the last two games of the competition, but they have been in a fantastic run lately.

West Ham United

Slaven Bilic has had a rollercoaster campaign with West Ham United in this term of Premier League.

The team is, however, in for a strong finish of the season which could even see them ending in the top half of the standings if they continued the spell of excellent form.

The Hammers are undefeated in last five league fixtures and they kept three consecutive clean sheets in outings with the likes of Everton, Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur.

LIverpool

The Reds have also been pretty solid defensively in the recent period, but they have also struggled to deliver at the other side on the pitch as well.

The team played only goalless with Southampton last weekend which sees them only four points adrift of Arsenal (who have a game in hand on the Reds) in the battle for the fourth position.

West Ham United vs Liverpool: Head to head

Liverpool have a much better record over the history, but the Hammers have been pretty tough rivals for them in the most recent fixtures.

The Reds are winless in last five games with West Ham who eliminated them in previous term of FA Cup (2-1 after extra-time).

The league encounter from Anfield has seen a 2-2 draw in December last year.

West Ham United vs Liverpool: Prediction

The match will have a much greater importance for the visitors, but we would not underestimate the in-form West Ham side here at all.

Spurs also had an imperative in the battle for the top of the table, but they lost 1-0 to West Ham last Friday.

Instead of the outcome picks, we’ll take the Under 2.5 goals pick because both teams have been better at the back in the recent period.
