The overall average number of goals per game during that period comes out as just 1.83, with the average goals for The Hammers being 1. Even so, it remains to be seen whether that pattern will be replicated in this upcoming game or not.

Taking a look at their past results, West Ham United:

• have not registered a win against Liverpool when having played them away from home in the previous 8 league matches. Very poor away form.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Liverpool

Tyler Morton (Shoulder injury), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Ankle injury) and Joe Gomez (Hamstring injury) are not available for Liverpool gaffer Arne Slot.

In all likelihood, The Reds will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game with Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, K. Tsimikas, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.

ℹ️ Team News: West Ham United

West Ham United boss Graham Potter has to choose a team with limited availability. Aaron Cresswell (Muscle injury), Michail Antonio (Broken leg) and Crysencio Summerville (Thigh problems) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that The Hammers seem likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, going with Alphonse Areola, Jean-Clair Todibo, K. Mavropanos, Max Kilman, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lucas Paqueta, James Ward-Prowse, Carlos Soler, Oliver Scarles, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen.

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that West Ham United will surely be able to find the net against this Liverpool team, but it possibly won’t quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re tipping a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Liverpool at the end of this one. It’s a very tough call.
