Given their current form and the pressure to advance in the league, Liverpool will be eager to pull off a victory against the Hammers. The outcome of this match is crucial not just for boosting their points tally but also for maintaining confidence within the squad and positive momentum as they approach the remainder of the season, especially with Champions League aspirations on the line.
