Struggling West Ham United will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Liverpool in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for West Ham United and Liverpool.
West Ham United form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. West Ham United have only managed 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at London Stadium.
The West Ham United fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at London Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against West Bromwich Albion. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Leicester City (1-4).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Brighton & Hove Albion in only three days. This game is also played here at London Stadium.
The West Ham United fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 11 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Liverpool form and stats
Liverpool, who have the most clean sheets (9) in Premier League, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 31 points collected from 11 Premier League games. 10 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats is the record so far. Liverpool have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of 14 victories in a row regardless of arena. A great winning streak in away games for Liverpool as they have managed to win six matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Manchester United have they travelled home without three points.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Shrewsbury Town in their previous outing. The FA Cup match ended in a draw 2-2. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It looked so good for Liverpool vs Shrewsbury Town, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
After this away game Liverpool return home for a Premier League game against Southampton. That game is only three sleeps after this.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Liverpool are regular goalscorers on their travels. It's not easy to score on Liverpool as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for West Ham United, 3 draws and 4 wins for Liverpool. Over 2,5 goals: 7 times; under 2,5 goals: 3 games.Top Goalscorers
