Jurgen Klopp’s in form reds welcome David Moyes’s inconsistent West Ham side to Anfield on Saturday afternoon with both sides in desperate need of points for very different reasons. West Ham have improved dramatically under Moyes but can’t quite seem to fully pull away from the relegation zone whilst Liverpool sit in the Champions League places currently and will be eager to stay there for the duration of the season.

Liverpool
The Reds have been in great form in recent weeks and look to have kicked on despite their dip in form back in January – epitomised by their impressive 5-0 win at Porto in the Champions League during the week. Jurgen Klopp has guided his men to 3rd in the Premier League table, with 54 points from their opening 27 games and they have only lost three times in the league all season. Mohamed Salah has notched 30 goals for Liverpool this term in all competitions and the Egyptian has been one of the stand out players in the Premier League.
West Ham United
David Moyes has overseen a real transformation at the London Olympic Stadium and they have risen to 12th in the table but such is the congestion at the bottom of the table, they are only 4 points above the relegation places. Their comfortable 2-0 win over Watford last time out was another big stride towards Premier League safety for the Hammers who have 30 points from their 27 games played. Marko Arnautovic has been a revelation under Moyes, notching 7 goals and he bagged last time out against the Hornets.
Liverpool vs West Ham Head to Head
Liverpool dominate the head with a comprehensive 72:28 whilst another 36 games have ended as draws between the two teams. Liverpool thrashed West Ham 4-1 back in November at the London Olympic Stadium thanks to goals from Joel Matip, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and a Mohamed Salah brace.
