Liverpool vs West Ham United Preview

Liverpool vs West Ham United

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Anfield

Date: 24th February 2018

Kick-off time – 15:00 GMT

Liverpool’s inconsistency will be tested here again as David Moyes takes his east London team to Anfield.

Liverpool have moved to within 2 points of second position in the league table and a win here would see them move second temporarily pending the outcome of Manchester United’s game.

They won their last game 5-0 away at Porto but their fans will not forget that the last time they enjoyed such a thrilling victory (4-3) vs Manchester City, the next two games were followed by two consecutive losses to West Brom and Swansea.

They are one of the most exciting teams to watch and this game should also have goals in it, while at the other end their defence that has kept 3 clean sheets in their last 4 games could be tested also.

West Ham have seen both teams score in 8 of their last 10 league games and they have scored in their last ten consecutive matches.

Moyes has done a good job since taking over and has picked up some good points from the Premier League big boys.

He will be looking to take advantage of Liverpool’s defensive lapses in this game.

The hammers have lost their last two home matches against Liverpool, but they have not lost any of their last three visits to Liverpool.
