West Ham United travel to Anfield to take on Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.

Liverpool will be looking to move one step closer to winning the Premier League with a win over West Ham on Sunday.

Whilst Graham Potter will be hoping to throw the cat amongst the pigeons at Anfield by dealing a big blow to Liverpool’s title hopes.

In fairness, Liverpool are running away with it this season, and Arne Slot deserves huge credit for getting his team into this position with just seven games remaining.

However, now is when the nerves really start to kick in for those chasing the title.

West Ham are obviously in a completely different moment to the Reds. Graham Potter is planning a big clear-out at West Ham this summer.

But in the here and now, he needs to start picking up some positive results, and fast.

Triple Liverpool blow ahead of Premier League West Ham clash

The Hammers fans won’t be expecting their team to win at Anfield.

However, stranger things have happened in football.

And Liverpool have some big problems heading into the Premier League clash this weekend.

According to Premier Injuries, Slot will be unable to call upon three key players for the game against West Ham.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Alisson Becker will all miss the game on Sunday.

All three of those are key players for Liverpool, so there might just be a window of opportunity for the Hammers.

At least that is what the Arsenal fans will be hoping, as they look to make up ground on the Reds at the top of the table.

Liverpool to beat West Ham to striker

The Hammers could miss out on a key transfer target this summer.

Unfortunately for Potter, Liverpool are apparently set to blow West Ham out the water in the race to sign Hugo Ekitike.

That will be a bitter pill to swallow for West Ham, with Liverpool reportedly closing in on one of the most exciting strikers in world football.

Perhaps Potter and his players can get revenge over them by picking up a positive result at Anfield on Sunday.
