Robbie Savage predicts Liverpool to come out on top against West Ham United
Former footballer turned pundit Robbie Savage has made his prediction for the upcoming Premier League clash between Liverpool and West Ham, and he believes the Reds will come out victorious.
Speaking to Football365, Savage expressed his confidence in Liverpool’s current form, suggesting that only Liverpool and Arsenal can challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title this season. He noted that both Liverpool and West Ham played in European competitions midweek, but he believes the strength of West Ham’s squad will see itself put to the test. Here is what he had to say:
“I think Liverpool are in good form,”
“I think only Liverpool and Arsenal can challenge Manchester City for the title this season. West Ham, again a game in Europe in midweek, again the strength of the squad will be tested.
“Liverpool also playing [in Europe], but I’m gonna go with Liverpool to win this game and that dismal record for West Ham to continue at Anfield. I’m going for a Liverpool 2-0 win.”
Despite Liverpool’s own European commitments, Savage anticipates a victory for the Reds, citing West Ham’s historically “dismal record” at Anfield as a contributing factor. He predicts that Liverpool will secure a 2-0 win over their opponents.
Savage’s assessment of Liverpool’s form aligns with the general consensus that Jurgen Klopp’s team is in good shape, poised to compete at the highest level. The Reds’ attacking prowess, coupled with a solid defensive foundation, makes them strong contenders in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool For The Win This Sunday?
The notion that only Liverpool and Arsenal can challenge Manchester City for the title surely reflects the high regard in which Liverpool is held by football pundits and fans alike.
West Ham, on the other hand, faces a challenging task when visiting Anfield, as they aim to break their historical record of struggles at Liverpool’s home ground. The atmosphere and quality of Liverpool’s squad often make Anfield a fortress that visiting teams find difficult to conquer.
Savage’s prediction of a 2-0 victory for Liverpool suggests that he certainly expects a strong performance from Klopp’s side. Liverpool’s ability to score goals has been as clear as daylight this season, and long may it continue.
