Liverpool vs West Ham United Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters at Anfield.
Liverpool
It has been a serene start to the new season for Liverpool, who have demonstrated plenty of attacking flair and defensive stability in equal measure. The challenge of a Carabao Cup run, along with balancing European football commitments will be a challenge for Arne Slot but Liverpool have developed their squad in recent years and will be confident of enjoying a winning start to their Carabao Cup defence, having lifted the title in 2024.
Team news: It appears Liverpool will have a full strength line up out in this one.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup:
Kelleher, Bradley, Quansah, Konate, Tsmikas, Elliott, Endo, Jones, Chiesa, Gakpo & Nunez.
West Ham United
Losing to both Aston Villa and Manchester City in the Premier League are not results to panic about for West Ham but they know that they need to start adding some consistency to their results over the next few weeks. Julen Lopategui has shuffled the pack in his first few games and looks to be finding his best XI and he should give some fringe players a chance to have a run at Liverpool in this one.
Team news: Alphonse Areola could miss out in goal here for West Ham through injury.
West Ham United Predicted Lineup:
Fabianksi, Coufal, Todibo, Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Soucek, Rodriguez, Alvarez, Summerville, Bowen & Fullkrug.
Liverpool vs West Ham United Prediction
A Carabao Cup run would be seen as the ideal way for Arne Slot to appeal to his new Liverpool fan base and the reds should get off to a winning start here against West Ham. Writing off the Hammers doesn’t seem wise, with so many really good attacking talents in their squad but Liverpool should have enough in reserve to overcome West Ham at home here.
Prediction: Liverpool to win the match – 1/3 (-300) – Rhino Bet.
Liverpool vs West Ham United – The Ultimate Bet
Liverpool to win & BTTS – 2/1 (+200) – Fitzdares
With West Ham all too aware that this one needs to be decided on the night, they may feel compelled to try and catch Liverpool on the hop here and have a really good go at them and whilst they may score, they will struggle to keep this rampant Liverpool side at bay.
