The Hammers are in fine form, and they will probably never have a better chance to win at Anfield as they have now.
The Reds have been nowhere near as good as they were last season.
Jurgen Klopp’s side seem to be far more vulnerable than they have been in a very long time.
And David Moyes will surely fancy his chances of bringing a positive result with him back to the London Stadium.
According to Football.London, Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip, Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Kostas Tsimikas, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all out injured.
Alisson Becker and Mo Salah are both doubts as well.
Now, there will surely be at least two or three of those names who will be passed fit for Saturday’s clash against West Ham.
But defence will be a real worry for Klopp. Without Van Dijk, Liverpool seem to be a totally different team. And understandably so. The Dutchman is probably the best centre-back in world football after all.
West Ham have looked great going forward over the past couple of months. But it seems as though we have a big injury problem of our own, with Michail Antonio ruled out for a month (The Guardian).
Liverpool are still there to be got at, however. And as long as we are aggressive and ambitious in our play, we will at least have a chance.
Klopp will undoubtedly get the best out of whichever Liverpool side he picks. But one thing’s for sure, West Ham will never have a better chance to win at Anfield as they will do tomorrow.
