West Ham hosts sorry Liverpool in home clash.
West Ham vs Liverpool begins at 14:05 [GMT] on Sunday, November 30, at the London Stadium.
West Ham welcome Liverpool to the London Stadium in a matchup that arrives at a fascinating moment for both sides. West Ham, meanwhile, have quietly rediscovered momentum. After a miserable start to the campaign, the Hammers have taken seven points from their three November matches — almost double their total from the first three months of the season combined. At home, they’ve beaten Newcastle 3–1 and Burnley 3–2, ending a run of nine matches without a win at the London Stadium. Should they defeat Liverpool, it would give them three consecutive home league victories for the first time in the same season since October 2022. However, historically, this fixture has been heavily tilted in Liverpool’s favour — the Reds have lost just once in their last 18 Premier League meetings with West Ham, a 3–2 defeat in November 2021. The Hammers will be looking to snatch a victory despite the odds when they face a wobbly Liverpool. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Callum Wilson in attack is expected against the Reds.
Liverpool head back to the Premier League following a 4-1 defeat to PSV in the UEFA Champions League. With the result piling more pressure on Arne Slot. Liverpool are in the middle of their most turbulent spell in years. After failing to score in just one of his first 48 Premier League matches in charge, Liverpool have now lost back-to-back games 3–0 — against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. They haven’t lost three consecutive league games by a margin of three or more goals since 1953, and the last time they conceded 3+ in three games running was back in 1955. Luckily, at the London Stadium, Liverpool have typically thrived. They’ve scored 25 goals in nine league visits, with only Manchester City and Arsenal having netted more as away teams at the venue. Last season’s corresponding fixture ended in a ruthless 5–0 Liverpool win, underlining how punishing they can be on this ground. However, Liverpool have developed a surprising mental block in the capital. They’ve lost each of their last five away league games in London, equalling their total number of such defeats across their previous 31 trips. Not since the early 1950s have they endured a longer losing run in the city. Their defence, once a major strength, has already let in 20 goals in 12 matches — the earliest they’ve hit that mark in a Premier League season. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Isak in attack is expected against the Hammers.
