Miraculous news for West Ham ahead of Liverpool clash. West Ham United are all set to play host to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday evening. The Premier League clash between West Ham and Liverpool will be a vitally important one for both teams, but for very different reasons.
Arne Slot’s side are looking to rubber stamp their dominance at the top of the table, whilst the Hammers are looking to continue our four-game unbeaten run and gain ground on the European places.
Julen Lopetegui is still under real pressure at the London Stadium at the moment, but his job is said to be safe for now.
So can West Ham get a big result that would give Lopetegui even more breathing space?
Darren England will be on VAR duty for the West Ham vs Liverpool clash – a big decision after his shocking mistake that led to Tottenham’s 2-1 win over the Reds in September 2023.
We all know how difficult it will be for the Hammers to turn Liverpool over. However, it seems as though we’ve been handed a major boost ahead of the match.
Miraculous news for West Ham ahead of Liverpool clash
The Reds have been in scintillating form this season. The last time they were in London, they brushed Tottenham aside in a 6-3 hammering.
If the Hammers don’t defend exceptionally well this evening, we will get hammered as well. However, there is some hugely positive news doing the rounds for West Ham right now.
According to Claret and Hugh, West Ham centre-back Max Kilman could be fit to face Liverpool, in spite of suffering a shoulder injury during our 1-0 win over Southampton on Boxing Day.
Having the 27-year-old available will be crucial to our hopes of taking something from the game against Liverpool.
Despite of our poor form in general this season, Kilman has been one of our better performers. Liverpool are one of the very best attacking teams in the world, so West Ham will need Kilman’s leadership and organisational skills at the back.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the former Wolves man is indeed passed fit forthe game this evening.
