Liverpool Preview & Form
Liverpool are experiencing a terrible run of form for the first time under Arne Slot, as the Reds have now lost three of their last four matches, with the run including a painful exit from the Champions League round of 16 and also a Carabao Cup final lost against Newcastle United. Last weekend, Arne Slot's men failed to capitalize on Arsenal dropping points against Everton at Goodison as the Reds suffered a 3-2 loss against Fulham at Craven Cottage Stadium. The recent setbacks have cut their lead at the summit of the Premier League standings to 11 points. The Reds remained at the top of the Premier League standings with 73 points from 31 games, 11 points ahead of second-place Arsenal.
Arne Slot's men have been in magnificent form at Anfield, having suffered only one defeat in the Premier League since the start of the season. They have won each of their last six Premier League home games, with two or more goals scored in five of the games. Alisson Becker is ready to return for Liverpool.
West Ham Preview & Form
West Ham will arrive at Anfield on the back of a four-match winless streak in the Premier League, losing two and playing two draws. Graham Potter has only picked up just three wins in 11 Premier League games in charge of the Hammers, with only two clean sheets kept during the run. On Saturday, the Hammers surrendered their lead against Bournemouth to end the game in a 2-2 draw at London Stadium. The Irons come into this round sitting 16th in the Premier League standings with 35 points from 31 games, 15 points above the drop zone.
Graham Potter's men have struggled with form in their away games since his appointment, with his side having won only away games. The Irons have won just four of their 21 competitive road games this season.
