Comments and predictions for Liverpool vs West Ham: Home team dominates

Latest Liverpool vs West Ham team information

In the pre-match press conference, coach Slot of course received many questions about Salah's new contract, but he also brought other good news: goalkeeper Alisson Becker has recovered from a head injury and will return to the starting lineup.

However, Tyler Morton (shoulder), Joe Gomez (hamstring) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (ankle) are still not ready to return. However, Arnold's replacement – ​​Conor Bradley – is fit and available after returning against Fulham.

Slot could consider a simple Bradley-Curtis Jones swap. Meanwhile, Salah will surely want to celebrate his new contract by ending a four-game run without a goal or assist, which could see him set a new record for goal involvements in a single Premier League season.

As for West Ham, manager Potter confirmed that he will stick with the same squad that played against Bournemouth. However, he said he will check Niclas Fullkrug's fitness at the last minute after the player struggled last weekend.

Fullkrug trained with the squad on Friday and is expected to be available, but Aaron Cresswell (muscle), Michail Antonio (leg) and Crysencio Summerville (thigh) remain sidelined.

If Fullkrug cannot start, Jarrod Bowen – who has had a hand in six of West Ham's last seven goals against Liverpool – will likely continue to play up front.

Latest Liverpool vs West Ham football commentary

From “almost leaving” to “definitely staying” – as Liverpool’s social media team humorously put it on Friday morning – Mohamed Salah has officially ended all speculation about his future by agreeing to a two-year contract extension with the Anfield team.

Having won eight major trophies with Liverpool, Salah is aiming for his ninth trophy and second Premier League title in his career, despite his and his teammates suffering a surprising defeat at Craven Cottage last week.

It was the first time under manager Arne Slot that Liverpool had suffered an away defeat in the Premier League, and only their second in the league this season – following shock cup exits to Newcastle and PSG.

However, Arsenal's failure to beat rivals Everton has left Liverpool with a seemingly unbridgeable 11-point lead with just seven games remaining. Two more wins would be enough for the Reds to be crowned champions in 2024-25.

While their recent run of results has been underwhelming, Liverpool's home form has been impressive, winning five consecutive Premier League games at Anfield and going 13 games unbeaten since losing to Nottingham Forest.

While Liverpool edge closer to glory, West Ham United are closing in on relegation. Despite failing to win their last four games, a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth kept them safe.

In that match, Niclas Fullkrug and Jarrod Bowen equalised after Evanilson's opener, but it was the Brazilian striker who sealed the 4-0 result with a late strike, leaving West Ham without a first win since late February.

However, with Southampton relegated and Leicester and Ipswich teetering on the brink of relegation, Graham Potter's side – currently 16th, 15 points clear of the relegation zone – can start preparing for the 2025-26 season.

West Ham have a rather strange statistic: they have failed to score in just two of their 15 away games this season in the Premier League, but have scored just 15 goals in total – fourth from bottom in terms of away goals.

In stark contrast, Liverpool have scored 10 goals against West Ham in just two meetings this season in both the EFL Cup and Premier League. If they continue to do so, Liverpool will become the first team in English football history to score five or more goals against a single opponent in three different games in the same season.
