West Ham United FC vs Liverpool FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Sunday offers a golden chance for a revived West Ham to challenge the reigning champions Liverpool in their Round 13 showdown at the London Stadium. Liverpool arrive on the back of two deflating defeats, searching for answers. 

While the Hammers are riding a growing wave of momentum as Nuno Espírito Santo steadily shapes the team in his image. All in all, Sunday’s fixture promises to be a compelling test for both teams for different reasons.

Current Standings: West Ham’s recent upturn has pulled them out of the relegation zone and up to 17th on 11 points, while Liverpool’s slump has seen them slide to 12th with 18 points. 

Head-to-Head Record: Liverpool has dominated the head-to-head battles between the teams with a win-loss record of 37-10 in 58 matches. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

West Ham United FC Preview

From just four points in their first nine games, Nuno Espírito Santo’s side has suddenly come to life, collecting seven from their last three — highlighted by victories over Newcastle (3-1), Burnley (3-2), and the most recent, a thrilling 2-2 draw against a top-10 Bournemouth outfit. 

However, Nuno will be frustrated with the Bournemouth draw after his side let a 2-0 lead slip, with second-half tactical tweaks—subbed Wilson off in the 52nd minute—inviting pressure and swinging momentum away from West Ham. It’s a reminder that maintaining intensity across both halves will be crucial as they push forward. 

Stats that matter 

1. Callum Wilson has scored three times in his last three outings—including a brace against Bournemouth—matching the total he produced across his previous 36 appearances.
2. The Hammers had faced a whopping 21 shots and 9 corners in the game against Bournemouth.
3. West Ham have registered only two wins in their last 11 matches across all competitions. 

Team News 

For the upcoming fixture, West Ham will again be without reliable centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos, but they’ll be boosted by the return of Lucas Paquetá, who slots back in after serving his suspension against Bournemouth.

West Ham Probable Starting Lineup - Areola (GK); Diouf, Maximilian Kilman, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka, Igor (Defenders); Paquetá, Fernandes (Midfielders);  Guilherme/Summerville, Jarrod Bowen, Wilson  ( Forwards)

Liverpool FC Preview

Arne Slot’s Liverpool just can’t seem to catch a break, with the defending champions slipping to 12th as their season continues to spiral. A team that lost only four league games last year has already suffered six defeats this time around, including back-to-back 3–0 setbacks against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest  in the most recent games. And if that wasn’t enough, Liverpool roll into this clash fresh off a bruising 4–1 defeat to PSV in the Champions League. 

Their issues remain painfully clear: a soft spot against low blocks and a recurring failure to manage counter-attacks down the right flank, where a worrying 42% of the goals they have conceded have come. Come Sunday, Slot can expect more of the same from Nuno's side. 

Stats that matter 

1. Liverpool has now lost five of their past six Premier League games.
2. Only against Nottingham Forest (7) has Alexander Isak been involved in more goals than he has versus West Ham, tallying six contributions — five goals and one assist.
3. Liverpool have conceded 20 goals in the league this season, which is the most they have conceded at this stage in a Premier League campaign since 1992-93.

Team News 

Liverpool will be without Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong for the trip, while the involvement of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike remains uncertain heading into the clash.

Liverpool Probable Starting Lineup - Mamardashvili (GK); Szoboszlai, Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Kerkez (Defenders); Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, Gravenberch ( Midfielders); Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Isak (Forwards).

WEST HAM UNITED FC vs LIVERPOOL FC
Winning Prediction

West Ham might be Liverpool’s worst possible matchup right now, with the Hammers likely to sit deep, absorb pressure and launch quick counters through the in-form Callum Wilson. Yet history is firmly against them—just one win in their last 18 meetings (D3, L14) and a staggering 25 goals conceded in Liverpool’s previous nine trips to the London Stadium underline how tough this fixture has been for them. That said, with Liverpool shot on confidence, it could be anyone's game.
