Liverpool vs West Ham United

Liverpool hosts West Ham United at Anfield today, February 28, 2026, with the Reds heavily favoured to continue their historical dominance over the relegation-threatened Hammers. 

Match Preview & Breakdown

• Liverpool (6th place): Arne Slot’s side enters this fixture on the back of three consecutive 1-0 victories. Despite missing key creative spark Florian Wirtz and striker Alexander Isak, they remain firm favourites due to their strong defensive record, having kept nine clean sheets this season.
• West Ham United (18th place): Under Nuno Espírito Santo, the Hammers have shown late resilience but remain in the relegation zone. While they have earned 11 points in their last six matches, their record at Anfield is poor, with only one win in their last 52 away league visits to the stadium.
• Tactical Outlook: West Ham is expected to sit deep and absorb pressure, potentially switching to a five-man defence to frustrate Liverpool's high possession game. Liverpool may rely on late drama, as they lead the league with 13 goals scored in the 90th minute or later this season. 

Predicted Score: Liverpool 2-0 West Ham United 

Most analytical models and previews suggest a comfortable but potentially low-scoring home win. Statistical probabilities favour a 2-0 (11.46%) or 1-0 (10.81%) scoreline.
