Liverpool
For BBC Sport, Chris Sutton predicts the outcome of West Ham United’s match against Liverpool.
six’ opponent, after last week’s defeat to Manchester City, suggesting Jurgen Klopp’s side will come away 2-0
winners.
Before the international break, David Moyes’ side were in inspired form domestically and they have still only lost
once, at the hands of Pep Guardiola’s champions and despite believing the Irons will lose again, Sutton has heaped
praise on Moyes’ team.
Writing for his BBC Sport Premier League predictions [21 September] he said: “I love the defensive discipline of
David Moyes’ sides and the way he thinks as a manager.
He knows what his team’s strengths are, and plays to them.
The Hammers will be difficult to break down at Anfield and they will counter-attack when they do get the ball back.
“It’s Liverpool’s forwards who will decide this game, though.
They have got so many dangerous attackers that they can rotate and cause all sorts of different problems.
I liked their response when they found a way to win after falling behind against Wolves, and I think they will find a
way through West Ham’s defence too.”
West Ham have rightly received plenty of praise in the early stages of the season for their impressive results that have seen them in and amongst the European places once again, but they couldn’t have many more difficult back-to-back fixtures.
The attacking talent in Jurgen Klopp’s side will cause every defence they face plenty of problems and it will be a true
test of just how far Moyes has brought his side over the summer.
But their defence has been fragile and the Hammers will pose a threat going forward.
West Ham will fancy their chances more this weekend than they did against City last time out and despite Sutton’s
pessimism, there is a feeling that the Irons could cause an upset.
It won’t be easy, but if Moyes and his side want to qualify for Europe again, there won’t be many easy fixtures this
season.
