Liverpool will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome West Ham United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s side suffered just their second league defeat of the season when falling to a 3-2 defeat at Fulham last weekend.
Despite that setback, the Reds remain firmly in the driving seat in their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Seeking to take another step towards clinching what would be a 20th English top flight crown, Liverpool will look to overcome West Ham on Sunday.
The Hammers are in no-man’s land in the Premier League table, comfortably clear of the relegation picture while a top half finish is looking increasingly out of reach.
Graham Potter’s side are now without in four league matches following last week’s 2-2 with Bournemouth.
How the bookies view it: Reds to rebound
Liverpool – who have won each of their last five Premier League home games – are heavy 3/10 favourites on Boylesports.
West Ham are as big as 8/1 (Boylesports) to inflict back-to-back Premier League defeats on Liverpool for the first time this season, while an all square affair at Anfield is also considered unlikely at 4/1 with the same oddsmaker.
Head to head: Reds rule the roost
Liverpool can draw confidence from the fact that they have triumphed in 16 of their last 18 meetings with West Ham across all competitions.
Slot’s side have fired in five goals in each of their previous two meetings with the Hammers this season, making a home win and over 2.5 goals an eye-catching option at 5/6 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Salah to rediscover shooting boots?
Failing to strike in each of his last four outings across all competitions is something of a dry spell in front of goal by Mohamed Salah’s high standards. Look for the Liverpool talisman to snap that sequence on Sunday at even-money (Bet 365) against a West Ham side that he has already scored twice against this season.
Jarrod Bowen – who bagged a goal against Bournemouth last weekend – has been one of their few shining lights for West Ham this season. The Hammers captain is a tempting 4/1 on Boylesports to make the net bulge at Anfield on Sunday.
Predicted line-ups
Liverpool are hopeful that goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be back between the sticks on Sunday, however Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are all ruled out.
West Ham will make the trip to Merseyside without injured trio Aaron Cresswell, Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio.
Liverpool: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Jota
West Ham: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Scarles; Alvarez, Ward-Prowse; Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta; Bowen
Anything else catch the eye?
The aforementioned Jarrod Bowen looks worthy of interest to register a minimum of one shot on target on Sunday afternoon at 10/11 on PaddyPower.
The West Ham forward is averaging 1.10 shots on target per 90 in the top flight this term.
What’s more, this bet would have paid out in each of Bowen’s last 10 Premier League appearances.
