Thoughts From Both Camps
“Well, they are Liverpool, they’re a huge team. They’ve won their last two games and kept clean sheets so they’ll be confident. They’ve shown some really good performances, but they are also vulnerable. We are expecting a very tough game, they are full of energy, a way that they like to play. It’ll be a very tough game for us.”
– Slaven Bilic, West Ham United.
“The team is full of confidence with back-to-back wins. We go into the New Year with confidence and [we’ll] go into every game trying to win and push up the league and see where it takes us. There are still plenty of points to play for and if we keep performing as we did today I’m sure we won’t be too far off [the top four].”
– Nathaniel Clyne, Liverpool.
Contributor’s Pick
According to Head-2-Head statistics, the previous six encounters between these two clubs have resulted in three wins for Liverpool and one draw.
