West Ham have the chance to leapfrog Liverpool in the Premier League table when the sides meet at the London Stadium on Sunday.

The Hammers have enjoyed an excellent start to the new campaign and are just two points adrift of their opponents in fourth position.

West Ham vs Liverpool latest odds

Having lost just one of their last 10 matches in all competitions, West Ham are available at 15/4 (4.75) with bet365 to continue their push up the table by pulling off a big win here.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s men have won eight and lost none of their last 10 meetings with this opposition and Liverpool are 4/6 (1.67) favourites to claim all three points yet again.

The hosts knocked Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup on penalties in their last home game, and you can get odds of 3/1 (4.0) on them holding another heavyweight opponent to a stalemate in this one.

West Ham vs Liverpool first goalscorer

Mohamed Salah is the obvious 3/1 (4.0) first goalscorer bet after scoring nine times in eight previous games against this opposition, with Sadio Mane priced at 11/2 (6.50) to extend his streak of five goals in seven matches with the opener.

Michail Antonio offers strong value at 7/1 (8.0) to break the deadlock against a team he has scored past five times in nine previous encounters, while Said Benrahma is available at 11/1 (12.00) following his two goals against Genk in midweek.

West Ham vs Liverpool preview

With so many in-form attacking players on display, another high-scoring game looks likely between two teams that have provided plenty of entertainment in recent meetings – seeing 38 goals scored in their last 10.

Having scored 19 times in their five league away games this season, the Reds will certainly back themselves to cause trouble for a defence that has conceded twice in three of their last four league matches on home soil.

However, after conceding two or more in three of their last five league games themselves, the visitors may also struggle to contain a West Ham team that has failed to score just once in 14 league fixtures.

West Ham vs Liverpool tips & predictions

All in all, odds of 6/5 (2.20) seem generous on over 3.5 goals being scored for the eighth meeting in 11 between David Moyes’ men and Liverpool.
