Liverpool v West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips
Sunday | 13:00 UTC | Anfield | Premier League
Liverpool return to Anfield on Sunday afternoon as they aim to bounce back from a rare league defeat and stay on course for the title. Arne Slot’s men remain top of the Premier League, but they’ll be wary of a West Ham side capable of testing teams when given space to counter.
Liverpool Looking to Respond
A 3-2 loss at Fulham last weekend marked just Liverpool’s second league defeat of the season. It was an off day defensively, but they’ve been otherwise consistent and remain in full control of their title ambitions. With 5 consecutive home wins in the league and 15 goals scored across that run, the Reds have made Anfield a fortress again under Slot.
Victory here would be another step toward a 20th top-flight title, and facing a mid-table West Ham side with little to play for offers a good opportunity to rebound.
West Ham Floating Through the Finish
Graham Potter’s West Ham are stuck in no-man’s land — too far from the drop zone to worry, but too inconsistent to threaten the top half. They’re now winless in four league matches following a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth. With defensive issues and little urgency left in their campaign, the Hammers could be vulnerable against a Liverpool side with more to fight for.
How the Bookies See It
Liverpool are strong favourites at 1.29 with Mega Dice to get back to winning ways. A draw is 5.60, while West Ham are 8.80 to spring a surprise — a long price given their recent form and Anfield’s atmosphere.
Head-to-Head: One-Way Traffic
Liverpool have dominated this fixture, winning 16 of the last 18 meetings with West Ham in all competitions. They’ve already put 5 goals past the Hammers twice this season- once in the league and once in the EFL Cup, and a repeat of that attacking dominance could be on the cards.
Backing Liverpool to win with over 2.5 goals is 1.52 with Mega Dice and looks a solid angle again given the trend.
Players to Watch
Mohamed Salah hasn’t scored in his last 4 appearances, but it’s rare for him to go much longer without finding the net. He’s already scored twice against West Ham this season and is 1.70 to net anytime on Sunday.
Jarrod Bowen remains West Ham’s brightest spark and is averaging over 1 shot on target per 90 minutes. He’s 1.95 to hit the target at least once, a bet that’s landed in each of his last 10 league matches.
Predicted Lineups
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
Stephen’s Betting Tips
Liverpool should bounce back at Anfield, and with West Ham’s defensive issues, there’s value in betting on goals. Bowen also offers a consistent player prop angle.
✅ Mohamed Salah to Score Anytime – 1.70
✅ Liverpool Win & Over 2.5 Goals – 1.75
✅ Jarrod Bowen 1+ Shot on Target – 1.95
Odds correct at time of writing.
