Liverpool have not exactly made things easy for themselves this season, but they say it’s a sign of champions to win without playing well.
They have claimed the most points from losing positions (nine) in the Premier League this season, winning all three games they’ve trailed in.
Aiming to keep Liverpool’s star-studded attack quiet are West Ham, who sit just three points behind them in the fledgling league table, occupying sixth place with 10 points from five outings ahead of Matchday 6. If West Ham are to cause an upset, the counter-attacking prowess of Jarrod Bowen could be key, with the winger netting in all three of their Premier League away games this term.
Head-to-Head:
West Ham have a dismal record against Liverpool in recent seasons. They have won just one of their last 14 Premier League meetings (two draws, 11 defeats), triumphing 3-2 at home in November 2021.
At Anfield, Liverpool have won their last six league games against West Ham. The Reds have only lost one of their last 50 home top-flight matches against them, going down 3-0 under Brendan Rodgers in August 2015.
Match Date and Kickoff Time:
The fixture is one of four afternoon kickoffs to take place on Sunday.
