West Ham vs Liverpool Premier League Prediction Match Details
The last Sunday match of 2024 will see league leader Liverpool travel to face West Ham United at the London Stadium. Can four-match unbeaten Hammers upset the league leader on their home soil?
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham has shown noticeable improvement in recent games, with the Hammers now unbeaten in the last four league matches, and they are looking to win consecutive league games for the first time since March. On Boxing Day, Julen Lopetegui’s men secured a 1-0 victory over struggling Southampton thanks to a second-half sensational strike from captain Jarrod Bowen. The Hammers now sit in 13th place in the league standings with 23 points from the opening 18 matches, six points adrift of the top six.
Julen Lopetegui’s men have struggled when playing at the London Stadium, as they have only won once in the last four league matches. Their last home match at the London Stadium ended in a 1-1 draw against Brighton. Playing at home, West Ham’s defense has struggled, keeping just one clean sheet in nine home matches while failing to score in only two matches during the run.
Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool has shown no sign of relentlessness in its pursuit of winning silverware this season, as Arne Slot’s men are now unbeaten in their last 22 matches across all competitions, where they recorded 19 wins and three draws. The Reds are currently on an impressive three-match winning streak, with the most recent seeing them come from behind to beat Leicester City by 3-1 at Anfield on Boxing Day. The victory stretches their lead at the Premier League summit to an impressive seven points. They have been in excellent goal-scoring form this season, having been the highest-scoring Premier League team with 40 goals and conceded the second-fewest in the league, only 17 goals.
Arne Slot’s men are yet to taste defeat on the road this season across all competitions, notching 11 victories and playing two draws. Their last road game saw them beat Tottenham 6-3 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It is worth noting that each of Liverpool’s last six league away games has produced both teams scoring and at least three goals.
