Preview vs Liverpool

After an exciting 2-2 against Hull on Monday West Ham face a tough challenge as Liverpool come to Upton Park. Both sides have been inconsistent so far this year, making this match fairly unpredictable, especially after Liverpool lost to Villa last week.

Previous lineups

Predicted score 1-2

Team news

West Ham have no new injury concerns with Nolan, Carroll, O'Brien and Jarvis still out. Despite this they will have Jenkinson, Song and Amilfitano available for their home debuts. This will give Big Sam lots of selection headaches with a very strong squad available.

Liverpool have their own injury concerns with Flanagan, Allen and Johnson all out injured. Despite this Skrtel may be fit to make a return. Balotelli is set to start but strike partner Sturridge is doubtful ahead of the trip to London. 

Predictions

This will be an interesting game as both teams have played intense games during the week so it will be interesting to see whether it affects the game. I think this will be all about taking your chances meaning we will need our new stars to really push themselves today. I think we will play well but Liverpool May just knick this 2-1 but I hope not! COYI!!
