Monday, at 20:00, West Ham and Liverpool are due in the 25th round of the Premier League, as “cormorants” still have a fragile lead at the top of the table. In the past, Jurgen Klopp’s team only managed a draw with Leicester (1-1) on a heavy pitch. West Ham will also make life difficult for players on Anfield.
Liverpool comes to London from the lead, with a single defeat in 24 stages. By comparison, Manchester City lost 4 matches and was 5 points behind Jurgen Klopp’s team. With a 55-14 goalie, the “cormorants” knew when to pull hard and when to put the brake this season. It’s right, brains have put less, and the magical triad of Firmino, Salah and Mane continues to produce excellent results.
With only one defeat in the last 5 games, with a difficult schedule, Liverpool goes on the field of the 12th place (goal 30-37). Into a bad pass, West Ham still survives due to the points accumulated by Christmas, and the distance to the relegable places is quite comfortable at the moment – 9 points. Liverpool had only one point on their own in front of Leicester (1-1), while West Ham came after three consecutive defeats, all away.
On the ground, however, “hammers” can be hard to face, and the recent results have impressed (a single failure in the last 6 official games). Liverpool has won 4-1 and 4-0 in the previous two runs on West Ham and hopes to be as inspired by Fabianski’s. There are no major batch problems for guests, while Manuel Pellegrini has as usual a long list of unavailable: Lanzini, Reid, Sanchez, Wilshere, Yarmolenko and Perez.
WEST HAM PROBABLE TEAMS – LIVERPOOL:
West Ham: Fabianski – Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell – Noble, Rice – Antonio, Nasri, F. Anderson – Arnautovic
Liverpool: Alisson – Milner, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson – Henderson, Wijnaldum – Shaqiri, Firmino, Mane – Salah
PREDICTION: Liverpool to win @ 1.41
