West Ham’s recent resurgence has boosted their league position, fueling hopes that the team can continue to improve. However, they now face a formidable challenge as Liverpool make their way to London. Under the leadership of Arne Slot, Liverpool have been a powerhouse this season, emerging as the clear favourites for the Premier League title. They are playing some of the best football in Europe, making them a daunting opponent for any team.
West Ham United News
West Ham are unbeaten in their last four matches, securing two wins in that stretch. In their most recent game, Julen Lopetegui’s side even managed to keep a clean sheet—something they hadn’t done in over a month. At home, the Hammers have been in solid form, with just one loss in their last five fixtures, including a notable victory over Manchester United. While three of those five matches saw over 2.5 goals, their last three Premier League games have been more defensively focused with fewer goals. One thing is clear: West Ham is steadily improving and will likely pose a tough challenge for Liverpool.
Liverpool News
Liverpool’s exceptional form under Arne Slot has positioned them as the leading contender for the Premier League title, particularly following Manchester City’s struggles and Arsenal’s inconsistent performances. The team’s last four league matches have been thrilling, all featuring over 3.5 goals, with two of those games surpassing 4.5 goals. While Liverpool have conceded in every one of these high-scoring encounters, they’ve more than compensated with an impressive goal tally. Their most recent clean sheet came in a 2-0 win over Manchester City, a pivotal victory that further strengthened their claim as the top contenders for the title.

West Ham United – Liverpool Betting Prediction
Despite West Ham’s recent improvement, I’m predicting a Liverpool win in a game with over 2.5 goals. Head-to-head statistics suggest this outcome is highly probable, as all of the last five meetings between these teams have featured over 2.5 goals, with Liverpool winning four of them. Considering their title ambitions and outstanding form, I fully expect Arne Slot’s side to push hard for the win and end 2024 on a high note.
