Liverpool vs West Ham Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | EFL Cup 2024-25

The Reds will aim to put more misery on the Hammers with a win here.

Liverpool have started the new season in brilliant form under their new manager Arne Slot who has managed to get the best out of everyone thus far. The Reds currently find themselves in the second position courtesy of four wins from five matches in the league. 

They have also started their tenure in the Champions League in fine fashion pulling a fantastic 3-1 win away from home over AC Milan to make a statement. With matches coming thick and fast, Arne Slot will likely test his bench strength in this match. 

West Ham are going through a poor run of form with pressure mounting on the shoulders of Julen Lopetegui who took charge this season. Despite making a flurry of new signings, the team has yet to put together an impressive performance. 

The Hammers have just picked one point in the last three matches having lost to Manchester City and Chelsea and playing out a draw against Fulham. This match will be crucial for the team as they look to restore some pride and win over the fans. After going past Bournemouth in round two, Julen Lopetegui’s side faces a difficult task against the Reds.

Players to Watch

Darwin Nunez (⁠Liverpool)

Darwin Nunez will be eager to make his mark in this match after delivering an impressive performance against Bournemouth where he scored a goal and looked a threat every time he got on the ball. Apart from his scoring form, Nunez also works tirelessly for the team, often chasing down opponents, and putting pressure on them to make an error. Now, he has a brilliant chance to cement his spot in the team by delivering another impressive performance against the Hammers. 

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)

Jarrod Bowen has emerged as an important player for the Hammers after delivering a series of impressive performances. After a brilliant campaign last term where he scored 20 goals and assisted another 10, Bowen has carried his form into the new season. He has scored two goals and provided one assist in six appearances thus far. His speed and directness coupled with his ability to cut inside and score from his preferred left foot have made him a lethal finisher for the Hammers.
