West Ham United travel to Anfield on Saturday afternoon, aiming to secure a historic victory and maintain their recent survival momentum.
The Hammers have moved into a much more competitive position in the table, having earned as many points in their last six games as they did in their previous 18. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo oversaw a frustrating 0–0 draw with Bournemouth last weekend, and his side now faces a daunting trip to a venue where they have won just once since 1963. Notably, Nuno secured a 1–0 win at Anfield with Nottingham Forest last season, marking his only career victory against the Reds.
West Ham Team News
Nuno Espírito Santo manages a squad missing a key January signing and a suspended midfielder. Notably, forward Pablo Felipe remains sidelined with a calf injury, while Freddie Potts serves the second of his three-match ban. Consequently, Soungoutou Magassa is expected to keep his place in the engine room. Notably, West Ham have lost 26 of their 29 Premier League away games against the previous season’s champions.
Mads Hermansen will start in goal behind a potential back five featuring Jean-Clair Todibo, Konstantinos Mavropanos, and Axel Disasi. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf will likely operate as wing-backs. In attack, Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville will support Valentin Castellanos, who recently netted his first Premier League goal on the road. Notably, the Hammers are the division’s most dangerous first-half team, scoring 59% of their goals before the interval.
