Liverpool vs West Ham Predictions & Betting Tips

Liverpool begin their defence of the EFL Cup in an all Premier League tie at Anfield against West Ham United on Wednesday, 25th September.

Here at BettingOnline, our expert tipsters have provided their predictions for the clash and what they think will happen. To find out more, continue reading below.

Liverpool

Arne Slot’s Liverpool will be raring to go in their first match in the competition they won last season.

The Reds face a struggling West Ham side with just two wins this season and a side they have an excellent record against. Liverpool have not lost in their last six meetings with the Hammers.

A strong start to the season in both the Premier League and Champions League, Liverpool have only faced defeat once in a shock loss to Nottingham Forest. So far, in every match they have won, Slot’s side has scored at least two goals or more.

Up next for the Reds is a match away at Wolves, followed by their second Champions League fixture against Bologna.

West Ham

Julen Lopetegui’s side found themselves on the end of another loss in the league at the weekend as Chelsea made it look light work to score three away at the London Stadium. 

Despite some promising new signings, the Hammers have yet to find their form and will be hopeful to secure a result in the cup. 

With just one league win and one cup win under their belt this season, a positive cup run would certainly be the boost the London side need.
