Liverpool v West Ham Betting preview

Liverpool v West Ham – Wednesday 5th March, Anfield, 20:00 kickoff.

Rafa Benitez’ side host West Ham United at Anfield on Wednesday evening knowing a victory will lift them back into fourth place at the expense of their Merseyside rivals Everton, and put their Champions League qualification hopes in their own hands. Liverpool are unbeaten since losing to the Hammers in the return ficture in January of this year, and have only lost one league game at Anfield in 12 months.

Alan Curbishley will be looking for a response from his players following their 4-0 drubbing by Chelsea at the weekend, and will want to avoid defeat at all costs, which might spell the end of their European ambitions. They will end the night in tenth place whatever the outcome of the match however, which they would have been more than happy with at the beginning of the season – They already have twice as many points as they did at this point last season.
