One of the most interesting matches of the 23rd round of the English Premier League is a conflict between two of the best performing teams lately - Liverpool and West Ham. The odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 1.61 for a home win, with a draw at 4.00 and 5.75 for the victory of the guests. Both teams already played this season at the end of September at the "Boleyn Ground", where West Ham won the match with 3:1.
The Merseysiders played a whole 120 minutes against Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup, which unfortunately for them lost. Now the team of Brendan Rodgers will try to reinforce the good run in the league, where already in 6 game does not know the taste of defeat. Liverpool is only 5 points of the 4th place entitling participation in the Champions League. Before the match with West Ham, there are some problems for Brendan Rodgers. With injury is Mamadou Sakho. Frenchman confirmed as the main defender recently but received back injury in the match against Chelsea. In his place will come the holder Glen Johnson. Steven Gerrard will receive some rest after 120 minutes during the week and will remain on the bench. In game will appear healed after trauma Adam Lallana. Training after a long pause, Daniel Sturridge will be used as a substitute in the second half. Match misses Kolo Toure, who continued to participate in the tournament for the African Nations Cup with his country - Cote d`Ivoire. Also with injury in the camp are Brad Jones and John Flanagan.
Hammers continue to enjoy a wonderful season. Last weekend they removed Bristol City in the FA Cup and their participation in the 5th round of the competition is sure. In the Premier League, the team takes the seventh place and makes one of the best seasons in history. West Ham arrives at "Anfield" in splendid form, as remains undefeated in the last six games in all competitions. Sam Allardyce has some serious problems with his composition. Questionable due to injuries are James Collins and Guy Demel. Cheikhou Kouyate represents his country Senegal in the Cup of African Nations. Former Liverpool player - Andy Carroll will lead the attack for West Ham at "Anfield". His partner will be Diafra Sacco, because of his goals against Bristol City last weekend. This means a place on the bench for one of the strongest players of "the hammers" this season - Enner Valencia.
After dropping out of the Capital One Cup from Chelsea, Liverpool will try to delight his fans with victory over West Ham. In the recent months, Liverpool are close to their form as hosts from the last season. The Reds are favorites in the game, but our forecast via onlinesocceradvisor.com is that West Ham will take advantage of the problems of Brendan Rogers and will prove his good performance.
Prediction Liverpool - West Ham: 2
Security: 5/10
Odds: 5.75 at bet365
