Liverpool aims to extend their lead at the top against West Ham, who are looking to improve their form in this exciting Premier League clash
London: Liverpool is on fire this season and can stretch their lead to nine points with a win over West Ham this Sunday. They recently came back to beat Leicester, and with Chelsea losing to Fulham, they’ve opened up a nice gap at the top.
West Ham has had a rough start but managed to snag two wins and two draws in their last four matches. Still, they’ll have their work cut out against a strong Liverpool side that’s been impressive under Arne Slot.
The match kicks off at 3pm BST on December 29, 2024, at the London Stadium. If you’re in the UK, you can catch it live on Sky Sports or stream it through the Sky Go app.
In terms of team news, Liverpool is mostly healthy, with just a couple of injuries. Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz might come in for Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo after being on the bench last game. West Ham, however, will miss their keeper Lukasz Fabianski due to injury, and they have a few other players who are doubts.
While West Ham has shown some improvement, they’ve only managed one win in their last 18 encounters with Liverpool. With their defensive issues, they’ll need to be on high alert against Mohamed Salah and the rest of the Reds. My prediction? West Ham 0, Liverpool 3.
So, mark your calendars and get ready for what should be an exciting match!
