Liverpool make the trip down to the capital for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off to take on West Ham at the London Stadium.

The Reds title challenge suffered a huge setback in midweek when Jurgen Klopp’s side lost 2-0 to Merseyside rivals Everton and we potentially see more dropped points in this one when they come up against The Hammers.

David Moyes’ side have only lost 2 times in the last 18 games at home in all competitions and have just 1 defeat in the last 7 at the London Stadium.

Liverpool make the trip down to the capital for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off to take on West Ham at the London Stadium.

The Reds title challenge suffered a huge setback in midweek when Jurgen Klopp’s side lost 2-0 to Merseyside rivals Everton and we potentially see more dropped points in this one when they come up against The Hammers.

David Moyes’ side have only lost 2 times in the last 18 games at home in all competitions and have just 1 defeat in the last 7 at the London Stadium.

On the other hand, Liverpool have hit some inconsistent form in recent weeks, losing 3 of the last 5 in all competitions leaving their title hopes hanging by the smallest of threads heading into another pivotal weekend.

Klopp’s team have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 10 Premier League games and just the single clean sheet in their last 6 games on the road, so West Ham will fancy their attacking players to find the net.

The graphic below shows goalkeeper Alison Becker with just 2 clean sheets away from Anfield all season.

LeoVegas are offering 2.40 on West Ham +1 goal handicap and with their home record this season generally being solid, we can see a frustrating afternoon for The Reds in this clash.

With only the one defeat to Fulham in their last 5 home Premier League matches and holding both Champions League chasing Aston Villa and Spurs to draws, West Ham can be fairly confident of getting a result against an out of sorts Liverpool.

Another betting market of intrigue is the To Be Shown A Card market and in particular West Ham’s Edson Alvarez.

The Mexican full back is The Hammers most booked player this season, with 16 yellow cards across all competitions this campaign and 10 of these coming in the Premier League.The graphic below shows the number of cards Edson Alvarez has received this season across all competitions

Alvarez has four more bookings than the next highest West Ham player Lucas Paqueta who has 12 yellow cards for The Hammers.

Alvarez is 2.85 with LeoVegas to receive a card during the match and given the statistics and his average of 0.40 cards per 90 minutes in the league, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he receives another by referee Anthony Taylor come full-time.
