West Ham v Liverpool: Head to head

|

West Ham and Liverpool have played each other 142 times since they first played in January 1901

The Hammers have won just 28 games, drawing 37 and losing 77 matches.

West Ham have gone nine Premier League games without a win against Liverpool (D2, L7). It’s their worst run in this fixture since a 10-match streak between September 2000 and January 2007.

The Hammers’ most recent victory against the Reds came in an FA Cup fourth-round replay at Upton Park in February 2016.

Liverpool are unbeaten in all four of their visits to London Stadium (W3, D1).

The Hammers have won their opening six competitive games in a calendar year for the first time in their history.

West Ham can equal the club record of five successive Premier League victories, which was last achieved 15 years ago.

They have already matched last season’s total of 10 league wins. The past eight of those have all been by a one-goal margin.

West Ham’s tally of 35 points is their highest after 20 games of a top-flight season since 1985-86, when they finished third.

Tomas Soucek’s seven Premier League goals have been worth 10 points to West Ham this season.

David Moyes is winless in his six Premier League fixtures against Jurgen Klopp, only avoiding defeat in Sunderland’s 2-2 home draw in January 2017.

Thursday’s victory over Spurs was Liverpool’s first in six league games and ended a four-match run without a goal.

Mohamed Salah has gone six league matches without a goal, equalling his longest barren spell for Liverpool in the division.

The Egyptian has scored seven goals in his past seven top-flight appearances against West Ham, while Sadio Mane has five in as many games.
