West Ham vs Liverpool: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

West Ham welcome a bruised Liverpool to east London on Saturday needing a reaction of their own.

The Hammers were miserable in defeat to Crystal Palace last time out to hand their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season a big blow.

Liverpool in midweek lost Jurgen Klopp’s final Merseyside derby to all but end their Premier League title ambitions, which any further dropped points at the London Stadium will surely fully extinguish.

Date, kick-off time and venue

West Ham vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off on Wednesday, April 27, 2024.

The match will take place at the London Stadium.

West Ham vs Liverpool team news

West Ham hope to have Jarrod Bowen back after he sat out the loss to Palace, while defensive pair Nayef Aguerd and Konstantinos Mavropanos will require late fitness checks.

It will be interesting to see what Klopp does in reaction to Wednesday with Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez again not at the races. Cody Gakpo could come in following the birth of his child.

At the back, Trent Alexander-Arnold has played three games in quick succession having only recently returned from injury so could be replaced. Ibrahima Konate has struggled of late and knows his place is under threat at centre-back.

West Ham vs Liverpool prediction

Liverpool need to pick themselves up and get a result to keep any faint hope of a title win alive. Klopp will have his players in no doubt over what’s at stake, despite the disappointment of midweek.

West Ham were dead on their feet from the off against Crystal Palace and, with David Moyes potentially heading out, you fear for a repeat performance lacking in drive.

Liverpool to win, 2-0.
