In their previous league fixture, West Ham United managed a remarkable 4-0 away win against Bournemouth.  They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against Bournemouth's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling David Moyes of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.  

Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.

Liverpool have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 3-2 home win against Nottingham Forest in their previous league match.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 81%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Nottingham Forest had 11 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

It's been a mixed run of form for Liverpool recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.  

Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
