LIVERPOOL

(Form check: WWDWWL)
 
Liverpool's loss to Bournemouth last weekend exposed flaws that Jurgen Klopp needs to address. The capitulation by their defence allowed The Reds to blow a 3-1 lead within a crazy final 15 minutes. The defeat ended a 15 match winning streak and caused some to reconsider their title prospects. The loss  may indicate that Liverpool will struggle during their playmaker Philippe Coutinho's absence. His place within the team has been filled by Belgian striker Divock Origi, the Belgian scored after coming on for Coutinho, in the win against Leeds in the EFL and again against Bournemouth. The youngster is (4/1 with Paddy Power - Bet Here!) to score first against West Ham. 

Divock Origi will look to use this opportunity to stake a more regular place

Liverpool's defence has been leaky this season, they have kept a clean sheet just twice this season, making both teams looking likely to concede (4/5 with SkyBet - Bet Here!), a victory for Liverpool looks likely considering their form at home (1/3 with Paddy Power - Bet Here!), Klopp may demand a strong performance following last weekend's disaster, goals at Anfield have been full flowing so a 3-1 win could be on the cards (10/1 with Paddy Power - Bet Here!)

WEST HAM

(Form check: WLDLDL)

West Ham are floundering this season, their 5-1 loss to Arsenal highlighted their drastic form in regards last season's heroics. A game against title chasers Liverpool may not seem ideal, but a trip to Anfield may just have come at the right time for The Hammers, Liverpool are creaking defensively wise and the main provider of goals this season has come from Michail Anotonio, the Englishman has scored the bulk of the sides goals this season so if they are likely to score, it could come from him (4/1 SkyBet - Bet Here!). If Liverpool struggle to find their mojo without Coutinho, West Ham keeping it level till half time could be the key, allowing them the opportunity to go on and grab a win (25/1 with bet365 - Bet Here!).

Slaven Bilic will hope he can turn the club's form around as he faces pressure

Although West Ham winning may seem unlikely, disarray at Liverpool following their star playmaker's injury alongside the stunning defeat to Bournemouth will encourage the East London side to go for the win (10/1 with bet365 - Bet Here!).

SUMMING UP!

Liverpool's loss to Bournemouth has many football fans assessing whether they can mount a serious tile charge this season, if Joel Matip remains injured, West Ham with their aerial ability will cause The Reds some problems in the air. The attacking ability of Liverpool has been affected since Philippe Coutinho became injured, their attack looks like it has the manpower to deal with the challenge of playing without him, but West Ham will see both this and their defensive woes of late as an opportunity to win the game. Slaven Bilic desperately needs the win to ease the pressure, he may find the game against Liverpool his last should his side inflict a heavy defeat.
