Who would have thought that just a few years ago, when the Hammers regularly ended up in mid-table or even had to fight against relegation. But West Ham, like Liverpool, have made an excellent start to the season, which means that both teams absolutely deserve this highlight on Sunday at 17:30. Find out who we think will win this match in the following West Ham vs Liverpool tip.
West Ham have currently earned a place in the top four thanks to their strong start. The Hammers are level on 20 points with Manchester City and only two points away from Liverpool, so with a win the Londoners could overtake LFC.

West Ham Form & Balance Check
West Ham United just keep writing last season’s success story. Since David Moyes took over again, things have simply been going their way for the Hammers, who were able to reach the Europa League in the previous season and may now reach even higher. Of their first ten league games, West Ham have won six and lost just two, as well as scoring a whopping 20 goals. Most recently, they have won three Premier League games in a row, most recently dispatching Aston Villa 4-1.
Draw in Genk
The Londoners are also doing extremely well in the other competitions. Across all competitions, they currently have six unbeaten games in a row, five of which have been won. A few weeks ago, the Hammers knocked out title holders Man City in the League Cup, and in the Europa League, West Ham are leading the group table. Even the recent draw against KRC Genk on Thursday could not change that. In the difficult away match in Belgium, the Londoners turned around a 0:1 deficit, only to catch the 2:2 with an own goal by Soucek shortly before the end.
West Ham facts & analysis
– 5 wins from last 6 competitive matches

Liverpool form & balance check
Liverpool FC are finding their usual dominance again this season after a rather moderately successful last season, also due to numerous injuries. Together with Napoli, Milan and SC Freiburg, the Reds are one of only four teams in Europe’s top leagues that are still without defeat. However, this is not limited to the league for Liverpool, as LFC have not lost a game in any of the other competitions. That should not change on Sunday from the Reds’ point of view.
Reds in impressive form
Of their last six competitive games, Liverpool have won five. While opponents like Manchester United or Atletico Madrid were defeated more or less confidently, the Reds surprisingly dropped points in their last league match against Brighton. After a 2-0 lead through Henderson and Mané, LFC actually let the three points slip away, the game ended in a 2-2 draw. In the Champions League, however, Liverpool were able to redeem themselves directly and also won the second duel with Atletico Madrid within a short time, which means that Jürgen Klopp’s team has already qualified for the last 16.
Liverpool facts & analysis
– Most recently won 2-0 against Atletico
– Like West Ham, have 5 wins from 6 matches
– 2nd place in the league
Predicted line-up – last update on 6 November 2021
At West Ham, all starting places are actually taken at the moment, the first eleven remained unchanged in the last two league games. Said Benrahma also scored a brace against Genk during the week to add to his tally. For Liverpool, Robertson and Konaté could come in for Tsimikas and Matip, with Thiago also ready for the starting eleven after his comeback. In attack, Firmino and Jota are in a two-way battle, but experience is likely to be in favour of the former Hoffenheim man in the top-of-the-table clash.
