Sunday’s clash (kick-off 2:05 PM) pits a Liverpool side with a commanding head-to-head record against a Hammers outfit desperate to turn competitive performances into points.

Best Bets & Predictions
Based on Liverpool’s overwhelming historical dominance, high possession and xG, and West Ham’s leaky defence, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in Liverpool to win, given their 16 victories in the last 20 meetings and West Ham’s struggles at the back.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool to Win | 3/5 @ SBK (62.5%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Liverpool are strong favorites to beat West Ham this weekend, a prediction supported by their dominant head-to-head record and West Ham’s struggles. Liverpool have won 86 of the 153 meetings between the two clubs, with West Ham winning only 29. The Reds have also won 14 of the last 18 Premier League encounters. West Ham currently sit 17th in the league, with just one win in their last six away matches. |
| Both Teams To Score – Yes | 4/7 @ SBK (63.6%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | The Premier League match between West Ham and Liverpool is likely to see both teams score. West Ham have scored 15 goals in 12 league matches this season. Liverpool have scored 18 goals in the same number of games. Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities, with West Ham conceding 25 goals and Liverpool 20. Furthermore, Liverpool have lost their last three matches, conceding heavily in each, which suggests their defense is currently unstable. |

West Ham vs Liverpool match odds
How both teams head into West Ham vs Liverpool
West Ham seem to have turned a bit of a corner in the past couple of weeks, going three games without a loss to move themselves out of the Premier League relegation zone. Back to back wins over Newcastle and Burnley were followed by a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth and West Ham will look to take advantage of a Liverpool side in freefall this weekend. Conceding goals has been the main problem for the Hammers this weekend, conceding more than any other side in the league except for bottom club, Wolves. They’ve scored 15 times, though, as many fourth placed Aston Villa.
Liverpool are in a dire situation at the moment, losing nine of their last 12 games in all competitions, including six of their last seven Premier League games. The Reds have also gone two league games without scoring a goal, although that hasn’t generally been a problem for them this season with 18 goals in 12 games. Their main issue has been at the other end of the pitch, where they’ve shipped 20 times. Pressure is growing on Arne Slot and this might have to be the start of their upturn in form to save the Dutchman his job.
West Ham team news
Oliver Scarles will be missing until the end of December after undergoing shoulder surgery but there is better news for Crysencio Summerville and Konstantinos Mavropanos, both of whom could be available for the Hammers after injury layoffs. Lucas Paqueta will be available once again after serving his suspension last weekend.
Liverpool team news
Liverpool have significant problems in defence with Geovanni Leoni, Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley all ruled out for this weekend’s game. There could be a return for Florian Wirtz though and Alisson should be able to re-claim his place in goal after missing out in the Champions League in midweek through injury. There are some doubts over Hugo Ekitike, who has a minor back problem but he should be able to feature in some way.
Season Form & Standings
Liverpool are mid-table with 18 points from 12 games, while West Ham, with 11 points, are just above the drop zone. Defensive frailty has cost both, but Liverpool’s attack is more productive.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |

Conclusion
Liverpool’s grip over this fixture and their superior underlying attacking numbers make them justified favourites, but West Ham’s sharp finishing and recent goalscoring form mean they should not be written off. Will Liverpool’s possession and relentless attack break down the Hammers’ resistance once again, or can Wilson and Diouf provide a shock? Our best value is on Liverpool to win at 3/5 with SBK (62.5%).
