Sky Sports reporter predicts result of West Ham United v Liverpool Premier League clash
West Ham have been predicted to defeat Liverpool 2-1 in their Premier League clash on Wednesday (26 April) by Sky Sports reporter Lewis Jones.
The Hammers welcome the Reds to the London Stadium as the hosts aim to continue their fine run of form.
West Ham go into the match unbeaten in their last five matches, with Liverpool unbeaten in their last four.
“They [Liverpool] remain vulnerable having lost 12 of 23 away games in all competitions this season – and their record at teams lower than them in the current table is still worth raising,” Jones wrote for Sky Sports.
“In nine games, they’ve won once and have failed to score in six of those matches, including defeats at Wolves, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Brentford.
“West Ham’s current buoyant mood, potency on the counter-attack and physicality at set-pieces makes them a dangerous opponent. I’m all over following the Hammers to make this a difficult evening for Klopp’s men. Score prediction: 2-1”
Important clash
It’s a very important game for both sides, with both clubs going into the match full of confidence given their respective unbeaten runs.
The Reds are desperate to continue their push for European football, with Jurgen Klopp wanting to end his miserable season overall on a high.
The Merseyside outfit have been nowhere near their best in recent times, with inconsistency on the pitch currently placing them seventh in the table.
West Ham meanwhile sit 14th in the standings, with Premier League safety their only goal when it comes to domestic football.
The home support will be certain to be in full voice and provide a boisterous atmosphere at the London Stadium, with their players definitely going to be equally up for the challenge.
With 6-1 and 3-2 wins against Leeds United and Nottingham Forest respectively, Liverpool have been in scary form in front of goal lately, with their attack certain to be a real handful.
But David Moyes’s defenders have shown themselves to be sturdy for the most part this season, with this combination set to produce an entertaining spectacle in West London.
