Liverpool have been named heavy favourites for their Premier League clash with West Ham this weekend.

Every game between here and the end of the season could have huge implications in Liverpool’s race for the top five.

Maybe not as do-or-die as it is for West Ham, who face a relegation scrap that threatens to see them drop to the second tier for the first time in 15 years.

The Hammers have looked better recently with Nuno Espirito Santo finding his feet at the London Stadium, which is exactly why Liverpool must be wary despite being given a 71% chance of grabbing the win.

According to Opta, Liverpool’s tie against West Ham is the most winnable in this round of Premier League action.

That should inspire some confidence, but Arne Slot needs to be wary of that turning into complacency in his players.

West Ham have been quite dreadful this season, but they are starting to string together some better performances in recent weeks.

It’s looking like one of Nottingham Forest, West Ham, or bizarrely, Spurs, will go down. The Hammers are trailing in 18th place and will be treating every game like a cup final....
