Stat attack!
- Liverpool have won five on their last seven encounters against West Ham – the other two being draws
- Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have scored more goals (32) in the Premier League this season than the entire West Ham team (30)
- Liverpool are on a 53-match unbeaten run at home in the Premier League – last losing at Anfield in April 2017 against Crystal Palace
What are the odds?
Unsurprisingly, Liverpool are massive favourites at 2/13, while a Hammers victory would hand a pretty penny to winners at 18/1.
Salah and Mane both picked up the Golden Boot award last season, along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
But the Egyptian is three goals off the top, with Aubameyang and Jamie Vardy currently leading – 12/1 to net a hat-trick to draw level.
Meanwhile, his Senegalese teammate is 4/1 to net more than once at Anfield.
