Liverpool Eye Another Dominant Display Against Struggling West Ham
Alright, let’s talk about this Liverpool vs. West Ham matchup—it’s shaping up to be an intriguing one for a bunch of reasons. The Reds are right at the top of the Premier League table, sitting in first place with 73 points, while West Ham are down in 16th, with just 35 points. That’s a huge gulf in class right now, and Anfield is about to feel it.
Liverpool have been absolutely dominant at home lately. They’ve won their last five Premier League games at Anfield and have only lost one of their last 13 home league matches. You really feel the energy when they play there—it’s electric. And historically, they’ve owned this fixture. West Ham have only managed one win in their last 57 visits to Anfield across all competitions. That stat alone sets the tone for what might be coming.
Looking at the lineups, Arne Slot has made some interesting calls. Alisson Becker is back in goal after missing the last two matches due to concussion protocol. Conor Bradley, Kostas Tsimikas, and Luis DÃaz also return to the starting XI. It’s a solid-looking team with plenty of attacking intent. Salah, DÃaz, and Jota leading the front line is a nightmare for any defense. And speaking of DÃaz—he’s been on fire lately, involved in goals in each of his last four league games. The guy’s really stepped up.

On the other hand, West Ham, under Graham Potter, are trying to break a pretty rough run of form. They haven’t won in their last four league games, and their away record is shaky. They’ve only scored 15 goals on the road this season, which is one of the lowest tallies in the league. Still, Jarrod Bowen is always a threat—he’s been a constant thorn in Liverpool’s side over the last couple of seasons. If West Ham are going to do anything here, he’s likely to be involved.
There’s also some fun trivia in this one. Liverpool have already put five past West Ham twice this season—once in the Premier League and once in the EFL Cup. No team in top-flight English history has ever scored five or more against another side three times in a single season. Could we be witnessing a bit of history at Anfield?
From a tactical standpoint, Liverpool’s 4-2-3-1 looks primed to take advantage of West Ham’s three-man backline. With Bradley and Tsimikas providing width and pace from full-back, the flanks could be where this game is won. West Ham’s formation will have to be rock solid to keep up with the pace and creativity Liverpool are throwing at them.
It’s going to be a tough one for West Ham, no doubt. But in football, anything can happen. Still, with the stats, form, and firepower all pointing towards Liverpool, it’s hard not to feel like this is theirs to lose. Let’s see if they make it another big Anfield night.
