West Ham Odds Following Their 3-2 Victory Over Liverpool

Following West Ham’s 3-2 victory over Liverpool thanks to an Alisson own goal, as well as a strike by Pablo Fornals and a Kurt Zouma header, the Hammers are third in the Premier League table, one point above Jurgen Klopp’s side, as well as one ahead of Arsenal, six better of than Manchester United and seven above near neighbours Tottenham Hotspur.

The Hammers highest ever Premier League finish was fifth-place in 1998/99 under Harry Redknapp with 57 points, whilst David Moyes’ sides tally of 65 points last season was their highest ever tally as they finished sixth in the table, just two behind Champions League winners Chelsea.

At this stage of the season, West Ham have one more point than Leicester’s 2015/16 tally of 22 after 11 matches which saw the Foxes stun world football and win the league under Claudio Ranieri.

The Hammers have never won a top-flight league title, with their best finish being in the 1985/86 season with 84 points in the league. If the Hammers continue their current trajectory, having improved their points tally from 39 in the 2019/20 campaign to 65 the following season, then who knows what could happen having started this season in blistering form.

Moyes’ side have impressed in the League Cup so far this season, as they have made it into the quarter-finals of the competition against Tottenham Hotspur, following a 1-0 win at Old Trafford thanks to a Manuel Lanzini goal, before beating Manchester City at the London Stadium on penalties, ending Pep Guardiola’s sides five-year unbeaten run in the competition.

West Ham have never won the League Cup, having been beaten finalists in 1966 and 1981. If the Hammers progress past Spurs, then they could play one of Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool in the semi-finals.

The Irons have won three FA Cup’s in their entire club’s history, having done so in 1963/64, as well as in 1974/75 and 1979/80. The last time West Ham reached the final of this competition was back in 2006 under Alan Pardew where they were beaten on penalties following a 3-3 draw at the Millenium Stadium against Liverpool.

In the Europa League, West Ham have started Group H in good fashion, as they have 10 points from four matches, against the likes of Dinamo Zagreb, KRC Genk and Rapid Vienna.

West Ham have two European trophies to their name, having won the European Cup Winners Cup in the 1964/65 season, as well as the Intertoto Cup back in 1999. If Moyes’ side are to go all the way then they must overcome other potential tricky sides such as Lyon, Monaco, Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen as well as any Champions League clubs that drop down into the competition.
