Liverpool vs West Ham United Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Liverpool are firm favourites to win this game as they are top of the table with 73 points from 31 matches, while West Ham United are 16th in the standings with 35 points from the same number of games.

Arne Slot’s men have the best home record in the division, having won 12, drawn two and lost just once, seeing them earn 38 points at Anfield, while West Ham have won just four of their 15 games away from the London Stadium, accumulating 17 points as a whole on the road this campaign.

The Irons are on a poor run of form, as under Graham Potter they have won just three of their 12 matches, while their record at Anfield is abysmal, as they have won just once on the red half of Merseyside since September 1963.

Liverpool have scored five goals in each of their last two home matches against the Hammers. We predict that Slot’s men will earn another comfortable victory here.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 West Ham United

On Sunday, 13th April, Liverpool hosts West Ham United in a battle between first and 16th in the Premier League table.

Date: 13/04/2025

Location: Anfield

Time: 2pm

This will be the third time that these two sides have faced off this season, as Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-1 in the League Cup at Anfield back on 25th September as Diogo Jota (2), Cody Gakpo (2) and Mohamed Salah all got on the scoresheet while Jarell Quansah scored an own goal and Edson Alvarez was sent off.

In the reverse league fixture at the London Stadium, Liverpool emerged as 5-0 victors as Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota all found the back of the net.

Liverpool’s sole focus is on the Premier League as they recently crashed out of the Champions League to PSG on penalties after a 1-1 aggregate draw, while also suffering cup defeats at the hands of Plymouth Argyle and Newcastle United.

The Reds sit on 73 points from 31 matches, meaning that they have what looks like an unassailable lead on Arsenal, as the Gunners are 11 points adrift, meaning that Liverpool are just four wins away from a record-equalling 20th top-flight league title.

West Ham have had a turbulent campaign, as they are 16th in the Premier League with just 35 points from 31 matches, seeing them sit ten points off the top half of the table, while also being 15 points clear of 18th-place Ipswich Town, meaning that they are all but safe for another season.

The Irons started the campaign off under Julen Lopetegui, however, the Spaniard was sacked on 8th January after winning just seven of his 22 matches in charge, seeing him depart with a 31.82% win percentage.

Thus far, despite Potter having an inferior record to Lopetegui, the Hammers faithful seem to be giving the ex-Chelsea manager time as they hope for a more expansive style of play in forthcoming seasons.
