0

Liverpool FC enters their upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United at Anfield as undeniable favorites, boasting an unbeaten streak this season.

Their recent European success, coupled with a remarkable record against the Hammers, underscores their supremacy.

Liverpool’s Unbeaten Run Continues

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds showcased their mettle in a thrilling comeback win against LASK in the Europa League, securing their coach’s 50th European victory with the club.

This victory extended Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the season, having already collected 13 points from 15 possible in the Premier League.

Notably, they’ve triumphed over Bournemouth, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Wolves domestically, positioning them third on the league table, behind Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Reds’ Anfield Mastery Continues

The upcoming match against West Ham appears even more promising for Liverpool. Although the Hammers also claimed a Europa League victory, their history at Anfield is far from commendable.

West Ham’s last win at Anfield dates back to August 2015, a shocking victory after 52 years.

Since then, Liverpool has dominated their meetings, securing 11 wins from the last 13 encounters, across both home and away fixtures, in three of the last four Premier League seasons.

Moyes’ Struggles Against Liverpool

Adding to West Ham’s woes is David Moyes’ underwhelming record against Liverpool. In 39 career meetings, Moyes has celebrated victory just six times, including his stints with Everton, Manchester United, and West Ham.

The most recent win came in November 2021 when West Ham edged Liverpool 3-2 at London Stadium.

Klopp’s Record Against West Ham

Klopp’s record against West Ham mirrors Liverpool’s dominance, with 11 wins from 17 games.

This impressive record follows an initial shaky start with two draws and two defeats in his first four meetings against the 2023 Europa Conference League winners.

In essence, Liverpool’s unblemished start to the season, recent European triumph, and a history of commanding performances against West Ham make them undeniable favorites for the upcoming Anfield showdown.

West Ham will face an uphill battle to break the shackles of their unfavorable record at this historic venue and against a Liverpool side in formidable form.
