'I just think': Chris Sutton predicts who will win when Liverpool face West Ham tomorrow

Yesterday at 11:00 AM

Liverpool will look to make it three Premier League wins in a row when they face West Ham United at the London Stadium tomorrow.

The Reds come into the back on the back of morale-boosting wins against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City, while the Hammers are also unbeaten in their last four Premier League games.

Arne Slot will look to end 2024 with a bang and regardless of what happens in this game, Liverpool will be at the top of the table as second-placed Arsenal are six points behind them.

And Chris Sutton feels another win is on the cards for the Reds, who have been relentless this season under their new manager.

Chris Sutton predicts Liverpool to beat West Ham

West Ham were underwhelming, to say the least, in the first few weeks of Julen Lopetegui’s tenure but have managed to turn things around in recent weeks.

Sutton feels Jarrod Bowen will be one to watch out for, with the England international leading from the front this season.

The former Blackburn Rovers striker, however, feels Liverpool will have too much in their locker for West Ham as he predicted a 2-0 win for the Reds on their travels.

“Is anyone going to be able to stop Liverpool? I don’t think West Ham will,” wrote Sutton in his column for BBC.

“To be fair to the Hammers, they are level on points with Spurs and above Manchester United in the table, so maybe their season is just a slow burner.

“So far, they have been underwhelming under Julen Lopetegui, but they have now put together a four-game unbeaten run and Jarrod Bowen seems to have become their go-to player in recent weeks.

“Arne Slot has such great quality right through his squad that I just think the Reds will keep rolling on. They won’t have as much fun as they did the last time they were in London, but they should leave with the points again.

While Sutton named Bowen as West Ham’s danger man, Slot raved about Mohammed Kudus in his pre-match press conference, describing the former Ajax midfielder as a ‘big threat’ regardless of where he plays.

Liverpool team news ahead of West Ham

Dominik Szoboszlai will be unavailable for Liverpool vs West Ham due to a suspension, while the likes of Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley are still injured.

The game against West Ham comes too soon for the duo, but it remains to be seen if they feature against Manchester United at Anfield in the new year.

Apart from that, Liverpool have no other concerns and should name a strong lineup for the game at the London Stadium tomorrow.
