The Hammers have made a strong start to the 2023/24 season and so have Liverpool.
David Moyes and Jurgen Klopp will both be very pleased with the manner in which their respective teams have gone about their business this season.
West Ham can actually jump above Liverpool if we win by three clear goals or more, as unlikely as that may be.
Merson reckons that won’t be happening though…
Paul Merson makes Liverpool vs West Ham prediction
The well-renowned football pundit has just made his regular predictions for Sportskeeda.
And Merson reckons that Liverpool will just have enough to win the game on Sunday:
“I thought West Ham played well last weekend despite losing 3-1 to Manchester City. They had their chances, but ultimately, the defending champions showed their class, especially in the second half. Liverpool also turned on the style after the interval against Wolves and looked so much better after subbing on Luis Diaz for Alexis Mac Allister. Things didn’t go their way in the first half, but Jurgen Klopp made a few tactical tweaks at halftime as they clawed their way back into the game. West Ham are really good on the counter, but I expect Liverpool to nick this one. Playing at Anfield will be a big advantage for them after a trip to Austria in the UEFA Europa League.”
Prediction: Liverpool 1-0 West Ham
I have a feeling this could be a close game.
The Reds have had to fly back from Austria and wouldn’t have had much time to prepare for the match.
As long as we are sound defensively, and give Liverpool something to think about when we go forward, I actually think we could get a result at Anfield.
We all know just how dangerous Jurgen Klopp’s side can be but they are far from infallible. A draw would be a good result for the Hammers and I think we’re more than capable of getting a point from the game.
