Prediction
After suffering an uncharacteristic sloppy defensive display in the first half of their loss at Fulham despite their second-half fightback efforts, Liverpool are lucky that Arsenal didn’t take full advantage but they now need to regroup and be more focused at the back but continue to play their usual attacking quality.
West Ham meanwhile aren’t totally safe but after they mounted a gutsy comeback to eventually draw 2-2 against Bournemouth amidst some poor marking, they need to build on the positives and try to score first if want a result here.
I however just can’t see Liverpool losing this no matter what the Hammers try to throw at them if their defence avoid the same sloppiness as saw in West London.
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 West Ham
