Liverpool look for three points away against West Ham
Kick-off : 5:30 PM (Local)
Venue : London Stadium, London
Slaven Bilic is desperately in need of some points and Saturday seems to bring him another opportunity to do so.
Bilic’s side after loosing to Brighton 0-3 went on to defeat Tottenham 3-2 in the EFL Cup at Wembley.
They almost won against fellow strugglers Crystal Palace but unfortunately went on to draw that game.
The Hammers are now 16th in the table and await Liverpool. The Reds last time beat West Ham 4-0 when they visited London Stadium.
Liverpool and West Ham have so far played each other 135 times. Out of that Liverpool have won 71 games while West Ham have won 28 games. 36 games have ended in a draw.
But it should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
