Liverpool vs. West Ham United: Premier League – Match Preview

Liverpool can return to the top of the Premier League on Saturday when they host West Ham United.

West Ham United’s decent start to the season continued last time out as they held Manchester City to a draw.

Michail Antonio scored a stunning over head opener, before Phil Foden rescued a point for the visitors.
