West Ham v Liverpool

West Ham vs Liverpool Preview

West Ham not only took advantage of a struggling and seemingly down-and-out Southampton outfit on Boxing Day with a 1-0 win down on the south coast but The Hammers also extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four games overall with that victory away from home at the St Marys Stadium.

Liverpool stretched their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points over second placed Chelsea after The Reds inflicted a heavy 3-1 win against Leicester City at Anfield, making it 13 games unbeaten in the top flight for the merseyside club.

West Ham have lifted themselves up into 13th place in the Premier League table thanks to two wins and two draws in recent weeks; victories against the likes of struggling outfits Wolves and Southampton along with points picked up in draws with Bournemouth and Brighton have now given the London club a welcome nine-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three clubs.

Nevertheless, West Ham fans will now be wanting their side to kick on and move up into the top half of the Premier League table but this may be easier said than done as they will be up against the league leaders on Sunday evening.

However, the goals market looks a promising proposition as both teams have scored in 12 out of 18 of West Ham's games to date so far this season (66.6%).

Liverpool extended their unbeaten run of games in the Premier League to 13 matches with a resounding 3-1 win on Boxing Day against hapless Leicester City and in turn lengthened their lead at the top of the table to seven points over their closest rivals for the title, Chelsea.

Having also picked up a total of 10 wins within these previous 13 games in the English top flight, Liverpool look to be in a commanding position as we reach the halfway point of the Premier League campaign on Sunday as Arne Slot's side look almost invincible at the moment.

The Reds still remain unbeaten on their travels so far this season in the domestic top flight in their eight outings to date having collected six wins and gained two draws, and the merseyside club previously posted a heavy 6-3 victory against Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last time out in the nation's capital.

In addition, Liverpool have scored in each of their last 13 games overall in the Premier League which further boosts the prospects of both teams scoring in Sunday evening's encounter.
