Why you should back Liverpool

The Reds will have revenge on their minds and a vocal home crowd behind them. The November loss snapped a 25-game unbeaten run for Liverpool and cost it a chance to set the club record. It was 8-2-0 in the previous 10 games against the Hammers. Its biggest issue in the loss was on set pieces and corners, an area it should be able to fix with Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk patrolling the middle. They hold a strong line in front of world-class goalkeeper Alisson, and Liverpool has conceded just 20 goals in its 26 league matches.

Liverpool has not lost this season at Anfield, going 10-3-0 and outscoring opponents 36-7. It has allowed the second-fewest shots in the league (212), while firing off the most (501). That is one reason for its prolific goal number, as it leads the EPL with 70. The other reason is the quality of its attackers, with league goals leader Mohamed Salah (19) joined by Diogo Jota (12) and Sadio Mane (11). Luis Diaz, who has one goal after scoring 14 in 18 matches with Porto, is another headache for opponents. 

Why you should back West Ham

The Hammers have been a decent road team this season, taking 21 points from 13 matches with a plus-6 goal differential. They know they need points if they want to stay in the race for a top-four spot. They are fifth in the EPL table, but No. 6 Arsenal (three games) and seventh-place Tottenham (two) both have played fewer matches. West Ham should have confidence from that win in November, when they befuddled the Reds with their set pieces. Kurt Zouma and Pablo Fornals scored and Alisson had an own goal, with two of the goals coming on corner kicks.  

West Ham has the fourth-most goals in the Premier League, led by Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen with eight apiece. They have combined for 15 assists, and Fornals has scored five times. Antonio had the lone goal in the loss to the Saints on Wednesday. The Hammers have scored at least once in 13 of their last 14 games.
