Premier League: Liverpool vs. West Ham Picks — Reds to Bounce Back From Shock Defeat (Apr 13)

Liverpool will be aiming to move within striking distance of securing a second Premier League title this weekend when they welcome West Ham to Anfield.

Arne Slot’s side endured a rare off day in their latest league outing, as they were punished for some weak defending against Fulham. However, the Reds still appear on course to win the Premier League, as they hold an eleven-point advantage over Arsenal.

West Ham come into this round of matches sitting 16th in the standings, but Graham Potter’s side have failed to win in their last four Premier League outings.

Odds

Reds Unbeaten in Six Against Hammers

West Ham have a poor record against Liverpool, having won just once in the last seven meetings between the sides.

Meanwhile, the Hammers are winless on their last eight trips to Anfield since a 3-0 win in August 2015. Liverpool have won each of their last six home matches against West Ham in the Premier League.

Liverpool vs. West Ham Picks

Wins at Anfield are a rarity for West Ham. Liverpool will be chasing a response after a shock away defeat against Fulham last weekend, and a week long break should ensure that they strip fitter at Anfield this Sunday.

Despite questions hanging over the form of their attacking players, it remains hard to overlook the prospect of a home win for Liverpool against the Hammers.
