Liverpool will aim to return to their winning ways as they welcome West Ham United to Anfield this Sunday.
Despite currently sitting at the top of the Premier League table, Arne Slot's squad faced an unexpected setback last weekend, suffering a 3-2 defeat to Fulham in a frustrating encounter. With the title race intensifying, any further dropped points could prove detrimental to their championship aspirations.
In contrast, West Ham finds itself in a precarious position, occupying 16th place and only narrowly avoiding the relegation zone. The Hammers are in desperate need of a morale boost after their recent 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, which added to a season characterized by inconsistency and disappointment.
As the pressure mounts, West Ham will need to deliver an extraordinary performance if they hope to secure a victory against the league leaders on their home turf.

Predicted Lineups and Team News
-
Liverpool: Mohamed Salah will be greeted with a hero’s welcome following his contract extension, sitting atop the Premier League scoring charts with 27 goals this season. Alisson is expected to return after missing the last two matches due to a concussion, while Conor Bradley will likely step in at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez sidelined. Curtis Jones had a commendable performance as an emergency right-back in the previous derby against Everton but struggled against Fulham.
Liverpool’s Predicted Formation (4-2-3-1): Alisson (GK) — Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson — Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Szoboszlai, Díaz — Jota Injuries: Alexander-Arnold (ankle), Gomez (hamstring) Suspensions: None
-
West Ham: Niclas Füllkrug, who scored in the recent draw against Bournemouth, may be a risk to start given his injury-laden season. Jarrod Bowen, who led the attack last time, has three goals and three assists against Liverpool. Michail Antonio and Crysensio Summerville remain out due to long-term injuries.
West Ham’s Predicted Formation (4-2-3-1): Areola (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Todibo, Emerson — Álvarez, Ward-Prowse — Kudus, Soler, Paquetá — Bowen Injuries: Antonio (broken leg), Summerville (hamstring), Füllkrug (hamstring) Suspensions: None
This match promises to be an exciting clash as Liverpool seeks to solidify their title chase while West Ham fights to escape the relegation battle.
