West Ham Vs Liverpool EPL 4 Feb Preview

Liverpool will be poised to put the disappointing draw against the Foxes behind and grab the winner at the Betway Stadium. A win here would keep them four points off second-plaLced Man City assuming they win their game against Arsenal.

West Ham

The Hammers have been thwarted by poor performances that has seen them win only two of their last six games. They have been terrible up front as they have been behind.

Indeed, they lost by three goals without scoring any against Wolverhampton Wanderers where Raul Jimenez grabbed a brace.

West Ham are without talisman Arnautovic, and with Anderson not in form, they might be on the way to suffering an even heavier defeat against a side like Liverpool

Mane’s goal in the early minutes of the first half wasn’t enough as Liverpool played a 1-1 draw against Leicester City and missed a chance to go seven points off second-placed Chelsea.

In the game to Leicester, they missed Milner to suspension and played Jordan Henderson as a make-shift right back – one we aren’t used to seeing. That explains seeing Naby Keita – who hasn’t been particularly good for the Reds – since his transfer to England.

The return of James Milner should see the trio of Henderson, Wijnaldum and Fabinho create more chances for Mane, Salah and Firmino to score a number of goals.
