|

With 1,350 voting in our Sunday poll nearly 70% (938) say league leaders Liverpool will win, an optimistic 17% of Claret and Hugh readers believe West Ham can pull off a miracle with a win while 13% say it will be a draw.

Liverpool could equal Manchester City’s all-time English top-flight record of 18 league wins in a row.

The Reds are unbeaten in 43 league fixtures since a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City in January 2019 (W38, D5).

A 21st successive league victory at Anfield would equal their own English top-flight record for consecutive home wins, set between January and December 1972.

They have kept a clean sheet in 10 of their last 11 Premier League matches.

West Ham have lost three of their past four league games.

They have also lost their last four away league fixtures. They last lost five in a row between November 2013 and January 2014.

The Hammers have picked up just five points from eight Premier League matches, fewer than any other top-flight side.

West Ham have lost a league-high 19 points from a winning position this season.

David Moyes is yet to win an away match against Liverpool in all competitions (D7, L8), losing the last three in a row.

Michail Antonio has scored in four of his five Premier League appearances against Liverpool.
