Liverpool had a draw in their opener, but since then they have performed extremely well by winning five straight competitive matches. On Thursday, after another setback, they managed to beat the Austrian LASK and thus achieved their first victory in the Europa League. This game showed the mental strength of the team led by manager Klopp. West Ham also had a draw in their opener and then won three in a row. However, they lost to last season's Premier League champions Manchester City 3-1, but bounced back quickly by winning their Europa League game on Thursday. Manager Moyes made a very good team and the player who was missing piece of a puzzle is Ward-Prowse, who is exactly what West Ham got after Rice left for Arsenal. The only difference between the teams, then, is that West Ham have lost a game, while Liverpool have yet to do so. It is worth noting that West Ham lost to Manchester City, which is certainly no shame. Now West Ham is coming to Anfield and although they are really playing very well this season, it is unlikely that they will get a point. This is primarily because Liverpool play fantastically in their stadium and rarely go without points. Liverpool has been invincible at Anfield for several years and we all remember the historic 7-0 win over Man Utd last season, even though the Reds didn't play at their best then. However, today they are in top form and I think they will record another triumph. Due to the fact that West Ham is not a naive team at all, I will ignore -1.5 AH and raise only a home win.

利物浦在首场比赛中平局，但从那以后，他们表现得非常好，连续五场比赛获胜。周四，在经历了另一次挫折之后，他们成功击败了奥地利的LASK，从而取得了他们在欧洲联赛中的第一场胜利。这场比赛显示了主教练克洛普带领的球队的精神力量。西汉姆在首场比赛中也取得了平局，然后取得了三连胜。然而，他们以3比1不敌上赛季的英超冠军曼城，但在周四的欧联杯比赛中迅速反弹。主教练莫耶斯打造了一支非常出色的球队，而缺少了一块拼图的球员是沃德-普劳斯，他正是莱斯转会阿森纳后西汉姆联得到的球员。两队之间唯一的区别是，西汉姆联输了一场比赛，而利物浦还没有输过一场。值得注意的是，西汉姆联输给了曼城，这当然不丢人。现在西汉姆将来到安菲尔德，尽管他们本赛季踢得很好，但他们不太可能拿到一分。这主要是因为利物浦在他们的球场踢得非常好，很少失分。利物浦在安菲尔德已经无敌好几年了，我们都记得上个赛季7-0战胜曼联的历史性胜利，尽管当时红军并没有发挥出最好的状态。然而，今天他们处于最佳状态，我认为他们会再次取得胜利。由于西汉姆根本不是一支幼稚的球队，我将忽略-1.5 AH，只提出主场胜利。
