"Liverpool's league campaign has been defined by late twists more than any other side. Their Premier League matches have featured 13 goals scored in the 90th minute or later-seven for, six against. Remarkably, nine of those strikes have altered the result, with the Reds contributing three late winners but also suffering four heartbreaks."
"Liverpool's fall from last season's dominance remains stark. At this stage 12 months ago, they were 12 points clear at the summit with 66 points; now, they sit sixth, 21 points worse off, level with Chelsea and three behind Manchester United in the race for fourth."
"Their recent record against West Ham provides further encouragement. Liverpool have lost just one of their last 19 league meetings with the Hammers (15 wins, three draws), and they have won seven of the last eight encounters since their 3-2 defeat in November 2021."
Liverpool welcome West Ham to Anfield on Saturday as they pursue their Champions League qualification ambitions. The Reds have demonstrated resilience despite their significant drop from last season's dominance, currently sitting sixth with 21 fewer points than their position a year ago. Liverpool's campaign has been marked by dramatic late goals, with 13 strikes in the 90th minute or later altering nine results. Recently, they secured back-to-back 1-0 victories against Forest and Sunderland, with Mac Allister scoring a 97th-minute winner at Nottingham Forest. A win would provide three consecutive Premier League triumphs without conceding. Liverpool's historical advantage over West Ham is substantial, losing just one of their last 19 league meetings.
