Preview Liverpool Vs West Ham United - Premier League | Sports Betting

[georgchua]

Liverpool will return to Anfield this weekend to face West Ham United who have been struggling to get results since their surprising win on the opening day of the season. Liverpool were impressive in their last game against Arsenal and although they were lucky once again with respect to the refereeing decisions, they did enough to earn a draw.

The Merseysiders have been able to stop the inflow of goals so far in the season and a much of that is because of the discipline of their full backs Joe Gomez and Nathaniel Clyne. The duo will most likely start with Lovren and Skrtel at the center.

With Henderson’s return unlikely on Saturday, we could see Lucas filling in the holding midfield role with Emre Can playing alongside him. The duo formed a good partnership against Arsenal and made them work to get their shots on target, which were very few.

The hammers have signed some good players but haven’t been able to kick on since their opening day result. Slaven Bilic tried a 4-3-2-1 formation in the last game with the quartet of Cresswell, Ogbonna, Reid and Jenkinson at the back. Apart from Jenkinson, who is suspended, we could see the same defense. In place of the Arsenal loanee, it’s likely that Kouyaté will be played.

Prediction Starting LineUp :

Liverpool : Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Gomez, Skrtel, Milner, Leiva, Can, Benteke, Coutinho, Firmino.

West Ham United : Randolph, Reid, Cresswell, Tomkins, Obinze, Jarvis, Kouyate, Obiang, Noble, Payet, Sakho.
