Supercomputer Predicts Outcome of Liverpool vs West Ham Clash

Liverpool sit 11 points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, and with no other competitions to focus on, their attention is fully on securing the title.

West Ham, meanwhile, have little left to fight for besides pride.

However, with 17th-placed Wolves gaining ground, continued poor results could drag the Hammers further down the table.

Arne Slot’s side suffered only their second league defeat of the season in their last outing against Fulham.

West Ham will be eager to exploit that setback and add to Liverpool’s frustration.

Despite the recent loss, Liverpool are widely backed to bounce back with a win at Anfield. According to Opta’s supercomputer, the Reds have a 69.1% chance of victory, while the odds of a draw stand at 17.2%.

This leaves West Ham with just a 13.8% chance of pulling off an upset at the league leaders’ home ground.

West Ham drew 2-2 with Bournemouth in their previous match and are in desperate need of a win to revive the mood within the camp.

Confidence has been low, and results like that haven’t helped.

The Hammers’ record at Anfield is poor. Their last away win against Liverpool came nearly a decade ago, when Slaven Bilic led them to a 3-0 win in August 2015.

Since then, they’ve beaten Liverpool just once — a 3-2 victory in November 2021.

Graham Potter may draw encouragement from his team’s surprise 1-0 win at Arsenal in February.

However, facing a determined Liverpool side looking to return to form, this could be another difficult test.

Overall, it has been a disappointing season for West Ham.

After starting the campaign with big ambitions, they now face the possibility of another year without European football, despite having lifted the Europa Conference League in 2023.
