West Ham v Liverpool betting tips: Reds have Hammers’ number

The Hammers, who have won their last three – at Everton, at home to Tottenham and at Aston Villa – are 17/5 to beat Liverpool, who sit second in the table, three points behind leaders Chelsea after their 2-2 home draw with Brighton last weekend.

Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 20 league games (W14 D6) and have scored at least once in every game. They are understandable favourites in West Ham v Liverpool betting tips at 7/10.

The Reds have scored at least three goals in each of their last six away league games, netting 22 goals in total.

In the entire history of the Football League, only one team has ever scored three or more times in seven consecutive away league games, with Birmingham City doing so between November 1892 and September 1893 in the second tier. Liverpool are 17/10 to score three or more goals this time.

The Hammers have picked up one point from the last possible 27 against Liverpool, securing a 1-1 draw at home in February 2019. The draw is available at odds of 3/1.

West Ham v Liverpool head-to-head

West Ham have won just 28 of their 143 meetings with Liverpool, with the last of those victories being a 2-1 FA Cup win in February 2016.

Since then, Liverpool have won eight and drawn two of the subsequent 10 meetings. They have won the last four meetings but only twice before have they won five or more consecutive games against the Hammers.

Liverpool have won four of their last five away league games against West Ham (D1) and are looking to win three in a row at the Hammers for the first time since doing so between 2003 and 2007.

Nine of the last 11 meetings yielded three goals or more and it is 1/2 that this will be the case on Sunday.

West Ham v Liverpool key battles

Liverpool have scored 19 goals in their first five away Premier League games this season, with only two sides in the history of the top flight ever scoring more at this stage – Manchester United in 1907-08 and Manchester City in 2011-12 (both 20).

Chief protagonist is Mohamed Salah, who has scored in each of Liverpool’s first five away Premier League games this season. He is 5/6 to score at any time in West Ham v Liverpool betting tips and stopping him is likely to be key to a result for the Hammers,who are 11/10 to avoid defeat.
