Sunday’s Premier League clash at Anfield brings together two sides with dramatically different fortunes this season. League leaders Liverpool host 16th-placed West Ham in what has been a notably one-sided fixture during the 2024/25 campaign. Arne Slot’s Reds, with their sights firmly set on the Premier League crown, have already demolished the Hammers twice in 2024, scoring ten goals and conceding just one across two competitions.
For West Ham, the trip to Merseyside represents one of their most daunting remaining fixtures. The London side has struggled to find consistency throughout the season and now faces arguably the most potent attacking force in the league. The December meeting between these teams saw Liverpool deliver a clinical 5-0 masterclass at the London Stadium, a performance that underlined the quality gap that West Ham will somehow need to bridge this weekend.

Current Form
Liverpool’s Season So Far
Arne Slot’s Liverpool side have been in imperious form this season, currently sitting top of the Premier League with 73 points from 31 matches. Their impressive campaign has been built on a formidable attack that has scored a league-leading 72 goals (2.32 per match) and a solid defence that has conceded just 30 (0.97 per match).
The Reds have won 22 of their 31 league matches, with only 2 defeats – against Fulham and Forest – an exceptional record that has them 11 points clear of second-placed Arsenal. Their recent form has been particularly strong, with victories against Southampton (3-1), Newcastle (2-0), Everton (1-0), and most impressively, Manchester City (2-0) away from home.
However, Liverpool’s star man Mohamed Salah has experienced a slight dip in form by his extraordinary standards. Despite leading both the goals (27) and assists (17) charts, the Egyptian has failed to deliver an open-play goal in his last seven outings.
This drought, which would be minor for most players, represents Salah’s longest run without a Liverpool goal or assist in over four years. He still remains on course to potentially break Haaland’s Premier League record for most goal contributions in a single season – that would be 36 goals.
West Ham’s Season So Far
The Hammers have endured a difficult campaign, currently sitting 16th with 35 points from 31 matches. Their form has been inconsistent throughout the season, with 9 wins, 8 draws, and 14 defeats.
West Ham’s defensive frailties have been a major concern, having conceded 52 goals (1.68 per match), while scoring just 35 times (1.13 per match). However, there have been recent signs of improvement, with a vital 2-0 win against Leicester and a creditable 1-1 draw away at Everton. Their 5-0 defeat against Liverpool in December still stands as their worst result of the season.
Jarrod Bowen has been the standout performer for West Ham, contributing 8 goals and 5 assists this season, though these numbers pale in comparison to Liverpool’s attacking talents.

The Match-Up
Sunday’s encounter presents a stark contrast in form and quality between the sides. Liverpool, with their title aspirations firmly in sight, will be expecting nothing less than three points at Anfield, where they’ve been particularly formidable this season.
For Salah, this fixture offers an excellent opportunity to end his mini-drought. The Egyptian has an exemplary record against West Ham throughout his Liverpool career and will be keen to add to his impressive tally of goals and assists in this fixture.
West Ham will likely adopt a defensive approach, hoping to frustrate Liverpool and perhaps snatch something on the counter-attack. However, their defensive frailties have been brutally exposed by Liverpool twice already this season, and Graham Potter will need to devise a more effective strategy to avoid a similar fate.
With Liverpool’s attacking prowess and West Ham’s defensive vulnerabilities, another high-scoring match could be on the cards. The Hammers’ recent improvement in form offers some hope, but Liverpool’s quality and consistency, coupled with their impressive head-to-head record in this fixture, make them overwhelming favourites to secure all three points.
For Liverpool, this match represents another step towards potential Premier League glory, while West Ham will be desperate to avoid a heavy defeat and perhaps spring a surprise that could significantly boost their survival hopes.
