Anfield, Liverpool, England

Liverpool come into the new campaign having invested near a quarter of a billion dollars towards topping the league, after making a run into the Champions League finals last season, the Merseyside squad feel even more confident they can lift trophies on multiple fronts.

Jürgen Klopp finally has a club worthy of making a true mark on the European landscape, often hampered with holes within his starting eleven, the German head-man seems to have addressed many of those glaring flaws, bringing in Naby KeïtaFabinhoXherdan Shaqiri and most notably GK - Alisson, Klopp believes he has found the missing ingredients for a championship run.

The vaunted front-line trio of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane all return with additional motivation this season, after coming up one game short of lifting the Champions League title, this combination of world class talents feel they have the ability to be even more potent, and are anxious to see just how good this club can truly be.

The Reds are still set to send out their traditional 4-3-3 formation, with so many attacking options up front, many are still over-looking how much they have improved on the back-end, after the addition of Virgil van Dijk last winter, the Achilles heel of this powerful side has slowly been stabilized, and now with the arrival of Brazilian keeper Alisson, many feel he is the final piece to a dream run.

Liverpool have already shown glimpses of just how formidable they can be this preseason, their high pressing style of play seems to be in over-drive, which should lead to plenty of chances on goal on a weekly basis. It would not be surprising to see this side score two-plus goals per match on a routine basis, and with a favorable opening schedule, expect to see them hoover around the top of the table for quite a while. 

West Ham make the trip north with intentions of ruining Liverpool's party, after a turbulent 2017-2018 campaign, the Hammers feel they have stabilized themselves from the top, and expect to be competitive for the full 38 weeks of the season. 

Former Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has been summoned back too the Premier League, after unceremoniously being ushered out of his position with the Citizens in favor of Pep Guardiola, the former league title winner gets another opportunity to prove his worth with the Londoners.

The Hammers have also brought in an influx of new faces to help Pellegrini out in his first spell with the club, the Chilean has always been in favor of an attacking 4-3-3 formation himself, and with the inclusion's of Andriy Yarmolenko, Felipe Anderson and Jack Wilshere, to go along with the likes of Marco Arnautovic, he has been provided with every opportunity too succeed in his return to England. 

West Ham were often unwatchable at times last year, with a offense that scuffled to put goals on the board consistently, and a defense that allowed multiple goals on a routine basis, the need for a total over-haul was surely needed.

Pelligrini does come to London Stadium with a bit of baggage, he has often been criticized for his over-attacking philosophy of play over the years, even though his sides will put goals on the board, he has regularly failed to put as much emphasis on the defensive side of the ball, which has lead to lop-sided defeats in the largest of matches, and when sharing the pitch with a club with as much class as Liverpool, he could be in for a long day during his West Ham debut.



Liverpool vs West Ham - Prediction 


The Reds should be brimming with confidence as they step onto the Anfield pitch, with a unit full of world class talents in their primes, Sunday's match could be placing the rest of the league on notice.

West Ham will certainly get better as the season progresses, but with so many new faces being brought in on short notice, there will be an adjustment period to their new system, and the overall familiarity of playing with one another.

Liverpool should separate themselves as this match progresses, their intense pressing style of play will cause the Hammers major troubles, as many of the participants are certain to turn the ball over on a routine basis, and set this dangerous side into motion, where they will simply overwhelm the Hammers going forward, with so many different options to hit the back of the net.
