West Ham United Vs Liverpool Tactical Preview: Team News, Key Men And Streaming Links

West Ham United will welcome Liverpool at the London Stadium on Sunday evening as both sides look to get the better of each other in this exciting Premier League clash. The Hammers were held to a 2-2 draw by Genk in midweek which has slightly halted their momentum ahead of this weekend. In contrast, the Reds picked up an impressive victory over Atletico Madrid earlier this week, so they will be expected to collect all three points at the English capital.

Talking Tactics

David Moyes could set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his side for this game. The Hammers boss will instruct his players to sit back and soak in all the pressure before catching the opposition off-guard on the counter.

Jurgen Klopp will opt to stick with his preferred 4-3-3 formation and might be inclined to make a few tweaks to his first XI. The German head coach will ask his men to dominate the ball at the centre of the park and orchestrate enough clear-cut chances for Liverpool to win this game.

Team News

West Ham United

Nikola Vlasic and Andriy Yarmolenko are both major concerns ahead of this game. Otherwise, Moyes has no fresh injury concerns to cope with this Sunday evening.

West Ham United Predicted XI

Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio

Liverpool

Roberto Firmino (hamstring), Joe Gomez (calf), Naby Keita (hamstring), James Milner (hamstring), Harvey Elliott (ankle) and Curtis Jones (eye) will all miss this game because of injuries. Still, Klopp should have a strong squad for this Premier League clash on the road.

Liverpool Predicted XI

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Jota, Mane

Key Men

West Ham United

Michail Antonio will be West Ham’s main man up top. He will be responsible for causing a few problems for the Liverpool centre-backs during the 90 minutes. Said Benrahma has been in red hot form of late, so he will be expected to create some clear-cut chances for the Hammers in the final third.

Liverpool

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will carry most of the goal-scoring workload from the wide areas. Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate would both have to be at the top of their game if they are to stop the home side from scoring this weekend.
