Liverpool vs West Ham

Current streaks

Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Reds experiencing a rollercoaster of results despite their lofty position atop the Premier League table. In their last six matches, Liverpool have won three and lost three, showcasing an inconsistent run of form. Notably, they've suffered back-to-back losses in cup competitions, falling to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and Newcastle United in the League Cup, before bouncing back with a narrow derby victory over Everton. The Reds' defensive record has been somewhat shaky, keeping only two clean sheets in this period and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. Their most recent outing, a 3-2 defeat to Fulham, was the highest-scoring match in this sequence, highlighting both their attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities. Despite these fluctuations, Liverpool's ability to maintain their league-leading position suggests they're still a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League.

West Ham

West Ham's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Hammers struggling to find consistent success in their last six matches. The team have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, showcasing a mixed bag of results. Notably, West Ham secured an impressive away victory against Arsenal, followed by a home win against Leicester, which briefly boosted their position. However, they have since failed to maintain that momentum, going winless in their last four matches. The Hammers' defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in this period. However, their attacking output has been limited, scoring only one goal per game on average. The majority of their recent matches (83%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Despite their recent struggles, West Ham's 16th position in the league table suggests they are still fighting to secure their Premier League status for next season.

Recent home/away form

Liverpool

Liverpool have shown a mixed run of form in their recent home games, with four wins and two losses in their last six matches at Anfield. The Reds have been generally solid in the Premier League, securing three consecutive victories against Everton, Southampton, and Newcastle United. However, they've struggled in cup competitions, suffering back-to-back losses against Newcastle United in the League Cup and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Liverpool's defensive record has been fairly strong, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets during this period. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, the 3-1 victory over Southampton stands out as their most prolific performance. Despite the recent setbacks, Liverpool's overall league position remains strong, sitting atop the Premier League table with 73 points from 31 games.

West Ham

West Ham's recent away form has been mixed, with the Hammers struggling to find consistency on the road. In their last six away matches, they have managed only one win, which came impressively against Arsenal at the Emirates. The team have drawn twice and lost three times, including a recent FA Cup exit at the hands of Aston Villa. Defensively, West Ham have been somewhat vulnerable, conceding in five of these six matches and keeping just one clean sheet. Their goal-scoring record has also been a concern, with the team averaging less than a goal per game in this period. Interestingly, two-thirds of these away fixtures have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters. Despite their struggles, West Ham have shown resilience, managing to score in four of the six matches, although they've only managed to outscore their opponents once in this run.
