West Ham vs Liverpool
England – Premier League
Date: Wednesday, 29 January 2020
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Olympic Stadium (London)
Liverpool have now reached 40 consecutive league matches unbeaten – just ten shy of setting a new record.
Liverpool’s much-changed team might have messed up against Shrewsbury in the FA Cup, by being taken to a replay nobody at Anfield much wanted, but the Reds at full strength are flying. It is hard to see anybody stopping them, and certainly not out-of-form West Ham.
West Ham vs Liverpool Head-to-head (h2h)

- Since 2008, only once have the guests failed to score at this stadium.
West Ham vs Liverpool Prediction
Another key to Liverpool’s run of 22 wins from 23 league matches has been getting out of the blocks quickly. They have been ahead at half-time in an impressive 78 per cent of league matches this season, while Jordan Henderson’s eighth-minute strike in the 2-1 win at Wolves was the ninth goal they have scored inside the first 30 minutes during their current winning run of 14 league games.
In contrast, the Hammers have been sluggish at the start of matches and their joint-worst period when it comes to conceding goals has occurred between the 16th and 30th minutes of matches this season, being breached eight times in that spell.
With that in mind, Liverpool to be winning at half-time at 4/5 makes sense
