Liverpool arrive at this fixture on the back of a narrow 1-0 win away to Nottingham Forest in their last Premier League outing. The Reds have won four of their previous five matches, with the 2-1 home loss to Man City the only exception.

West Ham, meanwhile, managed to salvage a point in their last Premier League match, playing out a goalless draw against Bournemouth. Over their last six league fixtures, the Hammers have registered two wins, two draws, and two losses. Notably, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in West Ham's last three Premier League games, suggesting a recent trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs for the visitors.

Liverpool vs West Ham Head to Head

The most recent clash between these two sides saw Liverpool emerge victorious with a 2-0 win at West Ham's home ground in November 2025. This result continues a dominant trend for the Reds in this fixture.

Looking back at their last six meetings across all competitions, Liverpool have been overwhelmingly superior, winning five and drawing one, with West Ham yet to register a victory against the Merseyside giants in this period. The statistics further underscore Liverpool's dominance, as they have scored at least two goals in their last eight matches against West Ham in all competitions. Furthermore, Anfield has been a fortress against the Hammers, with Liverpool winning their last 10 home matches against West Ham. The Reds have also seen over 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 home matches against the London side in all competitions.

Liverpool are contending with several injury concerns ahead of this match. Calvin Bradley, Joe Gomez, Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni, and Wataru Endo are all sidelined due to injury. Jeremie Frimpong is listed as doubtful, though there's a slim chance he might make the bench. On a positive note, Florian Wirtz is expected to be available to start after recovering from a minor issue that saw him miss the Nottingham Forest game. Dominik Szoboszlai might once again be deployed at right-back to cover defensive absences, as Curtis Jones is expected to make way from the starting XI.

For West Ham, veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is injured, as is Pablo, who is nursing a back problem and not expected back until next month. Freddie Potts is serving the second game of a three-match ban following his sending off in the FA Cup tie against Burton.

Liverpool vs West Ham Match Prediction

Liverpool may not have been at their fluent best away to Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, but back‑to‑back 1‑0 victories have kept them firmly on course in the race for Champions League qualification, piling the pressure on fifth‑placed Chelsea.

Anfield has been a fortress in this fixture. The Reds have won their last 10 home meetings with West Ham in all competitions, scoring 30 goals along the way, and they will be confident of extending that run here.

West Ham do at least arrive with renewed belief. Despite dropping points at home to Bournemouth, the Hammers know that a first win at Anfield since August 2015 would lift them out of the relegation zone, if only temporarily.

David Moyes’ side have already picked up eye‑catching away wins at Tottenham and Burnley in 2026, but a result against Liverpool would represent a significant step forward in their survival push.

Liverpool’s dominance in this fixture and their growing urgency in the top‑four race suggest they should have the edge, but West Ham’s recent away form hints they may not go quietly.
