Liverpool vs West Ham Preview
Liverpool
Arne Slot will be tasked with winning a trophy in his first full season in charge of Liverpool this term, and the EFL Cup could present the Dutchman with his best opportunity. For the second successive season, the Reds will come up against West Ham in the competition, with Liverpool cruising through in the competition last term.
Liverpool have responded excellently following a shock defeat against Nottingham Forest. They come into this third-round tie after winning their last two across all competitions, netting six goals in matches against AC Milan and Bournemouth.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | W-W-L-W-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota |
| Team Strengths | Excellent attacking quality in wide areas |
| Team Weaknesses | Could be vulnerable from set pieces if key defenders are rested |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Alisson (Muscle), Harvey Elliot (Broken Foot) |
West Ham
It has been a challenging start to life at the London Stadium for Julen Lopetegui, and questions are already beginning to be asked whether he is the right man for the job. West Ham have won just once in their opening five Premier League matches, and they come into this showdown without a victory in their last three.
Wednesday will present them with an opportunity to respond to recent negativity, but they will be massive outsiders when making a Liverpool vs West Ham prediction. A better performance will be expected at the very least, as the Hammers were well below the standards required in their recent outing when getting thumped 3-0 by Chelsea.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | L-D-L-W-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Carlos Soler, Manuel Lanzini, Mohammed Kudus |
| Team Strengths | High-quality players in the number ten position |
| Team Weaknesses | Have been defensively vulnerable in the Premier League this term |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Niclas Füllkrug (Calf) |
Liverpool vs West Ham Head-to-Head Statistics
It could be important to note before making a Liverpool vs West Ham prediction this week that the Reds ran out 5-1 winners when these sides clashed in the EFL Cup last season.
That win means that Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six matches against the Hammers across all competitions. West Ham haven’t won at Anfield since August 2015.
Liverpool vs West Ham Player Focus
With Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz likely to be rested this weekend, Diogo Jota will be handed a start by Slot. The Portuguese star has made a promising start to the new season after recording two goal involvements in four Premier League outings.

He will be looking to stamp his impression on this game in the hope of forcing his way back into Slot’s Premier League starting line-up.
Liverpool vs West Ham Tactical Analysis
West Ham and Liverpool will both make wholesale changes to their normal elevens for this fixture in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. However, the pattern of the game is unlikely to change that much.
Liverpool will dominate the ball, and look to force openings from the wide positions. West Ham will sit deep and look to counter-attack at Anfield, but that has proven ineffective already this term in matches against Man City and Chelsea.
Liverpool vs West Ham Prediction
- Football pick: Liverpool to win
- Odds: 1.38 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Liverpool 3-1 West Ham
Unlike previous seasons, West Ham have been poor defensively so far this term. That means Liverpool could be good value to score at least twice at Anfield this week in the EFL Cup.

We find it hard to foresee the Hammers ending their long winless sequence in this fixture, meaning that the preference is for the hosts when making a Liverpool vs West Ham prediction.
Liverpool vs West Ham Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Federico Chiesa To Record 1+ Assists
- Odds: 3.5 (22Bet)
New signing Federico Chiesa could be handed a first Liverpool start due to changes being made on Wednesday. The Italian has an excellent reputation for creating goals during his time at Juventus, registering seven assists across the last two seasons in Serie A.
