Defending champions Liverpool are still outside the Champions League qualifying positions. The Reds are sixth in the table and on Saturday are home to West Ham United who are in 18th place. Time for our match prediction.
Liverpool are only behind fifth placed Chelsea on goal difference. The Blues don't play until later in the weekend so a point at Anfield will take Liverpool above them. It's been an inconsistent season for Liverpool with eight league defeats and their title reign will soon be over. They have won their last two league fixtures and will be looking for another three points against West Ham this weekend.
West Ham are still in the relegation zone but now only two points behind Nottiingham Forest and safety. A win at Anfield would take the Hammers out of the bottom three as Forest don't play until Sunday. As you will read in the form section of this preview, the Londoners have shown some improved form of late and could yet avoid relegation to the Championship but this is a very tough task for them this weekend.

Liverpool - West Ham: Form Analysis
The last two Premier League games for Liverpool have both produced 1-0 away victories. Wins came at Sunderland and (much to the joy of West Ham) Nottingham Forest. Keeping a couple of clean sheets (and one in the FA Cup) will have pleased them as 35 league goals have been conceded this season.
The Reds have won seven home Premier League games this season. They had gone eight league and cup games unbeaten at Anfield before losing to Manchester City. Since then, they've had a 3-0 home FA Cup victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.
West Ham have a terrible recent record against Liverpool.
West Ham can escape the EPL relegation zone with a win at Anfield but haven't managed to do that since 2015. The Irons have lost nine of their last ten games against Liverpool, drawing the other one in April 2024. Seven of the last eight meetings have seen more than 2.5 goals scored.
The Hammers are unbeaten in their last four league and cup matches. Last week saw them held to a goalless home draw by Bournemouth. On the road, West Ham have won three away league games but lost six. Four of their last six away matches have seen at least three goals scored.

Liverpool & West Ham Squad Analysis
Liverpool have a long injury list at present but did make a huge investment in signing players during last summer. The good news for them is that Florian Wirtz could be fit to play this weekend.
He took to the field for the warm-up at Forest last week but a back injury forced him to miss the actual match. If he is back, Wirtz will be in the No. 10 role in which he has played so well recently.
Gakpo's poor form in 2026 could see him dropped.
Jeremie Frimpong could also make his return this weekend. Cody Gakpo has only scored twice this year and his place in the starting line-up is at risk from Rio Ngumoha or Federico Chiesa. They'll want some goals from Mo Salah too as he's gone nine EPL games without scoring.
Three of West Ham's next four league games are on the road. The other is a home match against Manchester City so their relegation battle is not going to be easy in the coming weeks. The Hammers are struggling for goals with blanks over 90 minutes in their last two games.
They will be without the suspended Freddie Potts with Pablo Felipe who was signed in January out with a calf injury.
