Following their 2-2 draw against Shrewsbury, Liverpool resume their Premier League campaign as they take on West Ham at the London Stadium this week.

The Reds have amassed 67 out of a maximum 69 points so far and will be keen on securing another win. David Moyes’s side are currently 17th in the Premier League table and are in dire need of some good results if they are drift far away from the relegation zone.

Liverpool haven’t lost a league fixture against West Ham since 2016 and are heavy favorites to clinch all three points on Wednesday. However, the Hammers have registered some good results against stronger opposition this season which include beating Manchester United and Chelsea (at Stamford Bridge). Hence, they shouldn’t be written off as you never know when an upset might spring up.

Now, let’s take a look at our predicted XI for Wednesday’s match and don’t forget to leave your say in the comments section.

Alisson

As usual, the 27-year-old should start between the sticks. He had a fine match against Wolves last week, making a brilliant save to deny Adama Traore in the second as Liverpool won 2-1 at the Molineux Stadium

Alisson will be more than eager to keep his eighth clean sheet of the Premier League this season which could take him to the top of the clean sheet charts alongside Kasper Schmiechel, Dean Henderson, Nick Pope and Ben Foster.

The 27-year-old has been in scintillating form lately and the West Ham attackers will certainly have it tough to get the better of him on Wednesday.
