Liverpool is back at Anfield later today as it looks to go another step closer to the Premier League title against West Ham United.
After a busy week, which saw Mohamed Salah end speculation over his future by signing a new two-year deal, the Reds will be aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat at Fulham. Arne Slot’s side has been helped yet again by Arsenal dropping points against Brentford on Saturday, meaning a maximum of nine points is now needed to be crowned champion.
Three wins is all that separates Liverpool from the title then, and it’ll be looking to pick up the first of those against a side it has a great recent record against, having already scored 10 goals in two meetings against them this season. With Graham Potter in charge now though, West Ham might prove a tougher prospect this time around.
