Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction, 20:00 April 13: Rushing to the finish line

Prediction before the match Liverpool vs West Ham

In the space of a few days, Liverpool have been knocked out of the Champions League and the League Cup. Having been knocked out of the FA Cup at the start of February, the Reds now have only the Premier League to contend with. Fortunately, despite their shock defeat to Fulham last weekend, Arne Slot's side are still firmly at the top of the table, 11 points clear of Arsenal.

However, with only one front to play, Liverpool need to step up their game to eliminate the risks and produce a brilliant finale to remind everyone that winning the Premier League is still a major achievement in Slot's first year in charge. They also hope that Mohamed Salah, who has failed to score in his last four games in all competitions, will soon regain his top form after signing a new contract extension.

Liverpool's advantage, in addition to the home advantage, is that West Ham are mired in a new form crisis. The West London team also lacks motivation because they are 15 points away from the relegation zone. From now on, manager Graham Potter can think about plans for next season.

Form, history of confrontation Liverpool vs West Ham

Liverpool have beaten West Ham 5-1 in the League Cup and 5-0 in the Premier League this season. No top-flight team has ever scored five or more goals against the same team three times in a season. The Reds are unlikely to be the first to do so, with Potter favouring a deep defence and counter-attacking style. However, a win is within reach, with Liverpool now unbeaten in eight consecutive games against West Ham, including seven wins.

The Reds are also playing extremely well at home in the Premier League with 13 games unbeaten, with 11 of those being wins. In addition, 12 of these games have always scored more than 1 goal (most commonly 2 goals, with 8 games). As for West Ham, they have only won 4 away games this season while losing 8. Since the turn of the year, The Hammers have traveled 8 times away from home. The record is not very good, with 2 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws.
