Liverpool vs West Ham: How to watch the match, lineups and prediction

Liverpool host West Ham at Anfield in the third round of the EFL Cup. This game will allow Arne Slot to rotate his squad and give minutes to young players and substitutes. Although the Reds are favourites at home, West Ham have proven to be an uncomfortable opponent in recent seasons, and could take advantage of Liverpool’s rotations to try to spring an upset. Slot will not want his team to get into trouble in this competition, and will look to settle the match quickly with his characteristic attacking style.

Liverpool head into the game against West Ham in fine form, having won five of their six competitive games this season, all by at least two goals. Despite a draw against Nottingham Forest after the international break, Arne Slot’s men have found their feet again with key wins against Milan (1-3) and Bournemouth (3-0). They have also shown great consistency, leading at half-time in all four of their most recent victories.

West Ham, on the other hand, are in a negative streak. They have lost two of their last three games, including defeats to Manchester City and Chelsea, in which they conceded three goals each. The Hammers have also struggled to keep up the pace at Anfield, where they have conceded a total of eight goals in their last two visits. This puts even more pressure on the team, which needs to improve defensively to avoid another defeat to a Liverpool side on a scoring streak.

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Luis Díaz; Darwin Núñez.

West Ham: Areola; Mavropanos, Álvarez, Kilman; Wan-Bissaka, Guido, Lucas Paquetá, Emerson; Kudus, Bowen, Summerville.

Liverpool 3-1 West Ham. Liverpool have everything in their favour to win 3-1 against West Ham, thanks to their great attacking ability, having scored at least three goals in their last few games and winning five of six competitive games this season by more than two goals. They also tend to dominate at Anfield, taking advantage of their solidity at home. West Ham, on the other hand, have shown defensive vulnerabilities, conceding three goals in two of their last three games, and have conceded eight goals in their recent visits to Anfield. Although they can score, Liverpool’s superiority makes them clear favourites.
