West Ham v Liverpool

West Ham vs Liverpool Preview

West Ham were left shell-shocked after being handed a heavy 5-2 defeat away from home at Crystal Palace last weekend which became The Hammers' second defeat on the trot in the Premier League while Liverpool's Premier League title credentials were dealt a blow in the merseyside derby against Everton as The Reds were handed a 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.

West Ham had previously suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Fulham and the bigger picture doesn't make for particularly encouraging reading for West Ham fans as their side have now managed to pick up just three wins in the English top flight since the end of last year.

Just three wins from their last 15 matches overall in the Premier League since the turn of the year has prompted calls for David Moyes' sacking from some quarters of the West Ham fanbase as the hosts have registered wins against Brentford, Everton and Wolves but six defeats as well have more than outweighed The Hammers' successes in recent times.

Nevertheless, West Ham still remain sitting in eighth place in the Premier League table but having produced just one win from their last eight home games, the London club face another tough assignment when Liverpool arrive on Saturday lunchtime.

Onto Liverpool and The Reds were dealt a sickening blow to their title aspirations on Wednesday night in the merseyside derby, losing 2-0 to The Toffees and Jurgen Klopp's side now sit in second place and three points behind the league leaders Arsenal heading into this weekend's top flight action.

Two defeats in three games has called into question as to whether Liverpool can produce consistent results in the run-in to this season's Premier League campaign and indeed The Reds head into this weekend's fixtures on the back of just one win from their last four games overall which came in the form of a 3-1 win away from home at Fulham.

However, losses to Crystal Palace and Everton, usually considered to be games where Liverpool would bank on gaining three points each from have proved to be the proverbial banana-skins in their pursuit of capturing this season's league title but they have a decent chance of returning to winning ways in the nation's capital on Saturday.

Liverpool have captured seven wins from their last 10 outings on the road in the Premier League and this sort of form should see Jurgen Klopp's side over the line at the London Stadium.

West Ham v Liverpool Verdict

Liverpool have held the upper hand in no uncertain fashion over West Ham in recent meetings as The Reds have won the last five encounters on the trot and the visitors know they must win this one but are the cracks now starting to appear?
