Liverpool to get back to winning ways. Liverpool will look to continue their unbeaten run in the EPL when they take on a struggling West Ham United at Anfield later this evening.

With an evening to forget after last week Tuesday in the Champions League, Liverpool will look to do the double over West Ham later this evening. They have already won the reverse fixture by two goals with no reply on a night the Anfield manager deemed “a weird night”.

With all being said, It is going to be an uphill battle for the Hammers, especially because they are going to Anfield. West Ham has not beaten Liverpool since beating them at their home ground in London on January 2016, with goals from Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll, respectively.

Jurgen Klopp will also look to put this game to bed early and help Liverpool accomplish something great by winning the League Title rather sooner than later. Should Liverpool win their remaining EPL games, Liverpool could be crowned champions come March 21, against Crystal Palace.

Even if Manchester City win the rest of their games, Liverpool can win the league title with seven games to spare. A major setback for Liverpool was the injury to Jordan Henderson, potentially ruling him out for the next three weeks. With Henderson out, Keita could slot in for him or James Milner since he is the vice-captain.

Predicted Liverpool Starting XI: Formation 4-3-3
