English Premier League this week is being played also on weekdays. Liverpool on Wednesday night is hosting West Ham United. The home team is in 8th position with 13 points while West Ham is the 12th best team with 11 points. Liverpool got a very important win on Sunday as they beat Manchester City 1:0. At the end of the game, Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp received a red card but he will not miss this game. West Ham had a draw against Southampton and the team hasn't lost in the last 5 games although only 2 of them were on the road. At the same time, the last draw could be seen as a failure because the team controlled the ball 61% of the time and had 15 more shots.

Liverpool has struggled at the start of the season, but in front of their fans, the team has played well, having 3 wins and 2 draws. It's worth noting that Liverpool has 16 scored goals in Anfield and only 5 allowed. West Ham has 1 win and 1 draw in 5 away games, only 3 goals scored (tied for 3rd worst) and 5 conceded. So far this season Liverpool has 2nd best offense with 2.64 expected goals at home while West Ham on the road is expected to score 1.71 goals. Liverpool demonstrates 4th best defense with 1.13 expected allowed goals but for West Ham, the rating is 1.45.

The are many facts that give Liverpool a pole position. Firstly, Liverpool has won 36 out of the last 49 meetings at home (12 draws, 1 loss) including 4 wins in a row right now. Secondly, West Ham has lost 9 out of the last 13 away Premier League games (2 draws, 2 wins). Thirdly, West Ham's manager David Moyes has been at Anfield 17 times and has lost 11 times. Fourthly, Liverpool has won 15 out of the last 18 games played on Wednesday.

Diogo Jota got injured in the last minutes versus City and he's going to miss some time. It means more duties to Mohamed Salah who has scored 9 times this season. Across all competitions on home soil this campaign, the Egyptian has only failed to have a shot on target once, and given he’s still getting in all of the right positions, it’s only a matter of time until he’s consistently scoring again.

Of course, the home is a big favorite in this game. Liverpool's win on Sunday will likely act as a big morale booster, after what was a poor start to the season by their standards, so expect them to follow up with another win here.

本周的英超联赛也在工作日进行。利物浦将在周三晚上主场迎战西汉姆联。主队以13分排名第8，西汉姆联以11分排名第12。周日，利物浦以1:0击败曼城，取得了一场非常重要的胜利。比赛结束时，利物浦主帅克洛普吃到了红牌，但他不会错过本场比赛。西汉姆联与南安普顿打平，球队在过去5场比赛中没有输球，尽管其中只有2场是在客场。与此同时，最后一次抽签可以被视为失败，因为球队有61%的时间控制球，射门次数多了15次。

利物浦在本赛季初表现不佳，但在球迷面前，球队表现出色，取得了3胜2平的成绩。值得注意的是，利物浦在安菲尔德打进了16粒进球，只有5粒失球。西汉姆联5场客场1胜1平，只进了3球(并列倒数第三)，丢了5球。本赛季到目前为止，利物浦以2.64个预期进球排名第二，而西汉姆联在客场的预期进球是1.71个。利物浦的防守排名第四，预期允许进球1.13个，而西汉姆联的得分是1.45。

有许多事实使利物浦处于领先地位。首先，利物浦在过去的49次主场交锋中取得了36胜(12平1负)，包括目前的4连胜。其次，西汉姆联在过去13场英超客场比赛中输了9场(2平2胜)。第三，西汉姆主帅莫耶斯17次来到安菲尔德，11次输球。第四，利物浦在周三的18场比赛中赢了15场。

迪奥戈·霍塔在对阵曼城的最后几分钟受伤了，他将会缺席一段时间。这对本赛季打进9球的萨拉赫来说意味着更多的责任。在本赛季的所有主场比赛中，埃及人只有一次射门不中，考虑到他仍然在所有正确的位置上，他再次持续进球只是时间问题。

当然，主场在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的。利物浦在周日的胜利可能会成为一个巨大的士气助推器，在他们的标准下，赛季的开始是糟糕的，所以期待他们继续在这里赢得另一场胜利。
