Liverpool are aiming to secure all three points when they travel to London on Wednesday night in A potential last-gasp dash for a top four spot.

West Ham United will face Liverpool in what promises to be an exciting Premier League encounter at the London Stadium on Wednesday night. Both teams are known for their attacking prowess and will be looking to continue their goal-scoring form when they clash in the midweek's encounter.

The Hammers come into this match after a dominant 4-0 win over Bournemouth, which saw Michail Antonio and Lucas Paqueta score a pair of headers before Declan Rice and Pablo Fornals added to the scoreline. The result, which epitomised what was arguably the London club's best performance this season, ensured that are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions. Even more remarkable is the fact that they have lost just one of their last 10 matches.

Currently, West Ham occupy 13th place in the Premier League standings, but with a game in hand, they are only six points clear of the relegation zone. The record of David Moyes' side against top-half sides has not been impressive, with only Fulham being the side they have beaten in their last 20 games against such opposition. Needless to say, there is room for optimism, as they have proved to be a formidable opposition under the right circumstances. There is indeed much to look forward to as they did manage to beat Liverpool 3-2 at the London Stadium last season. Save for a missed spot-kick by Jarrod Bowen, they would have also been able to share the spoils with the Reds when the pair met at the beginning of this season.

For Liverpool, the trip to London is one they might potentially dread considering their record in the city in recent times. The Merseysiders have only won once in their away trips to capital clubs this season, which adds another layer of unpredictability to this fixture.

In a more positive light, hindsight could play a significant role in how the upcoming game will pan out. Over the weekend, Liverpool scraped past Nottingham Forest in a thrilling 3-2 victory at Anfield, with Diogo Jota scoring a brace and Mohamed Salah sealing the win after Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White had levelled the playing field at two different instances.

Currently in seventh place in the table, the Reds have scored 11 goals in their last three league games and will be counting on their attacking prowess once more. However, they have struggled on the road this season, winning just two of their last nine top-flight matches away from home. With nine points seperating them and Manchester United in the final Champions League position, they will very much be required to put on a good show against West Ham inside the London Stadium.
