West Ham replace both Masuaku and Zabaleta with Cresswell and Fredericks. Defensively that should make us stronger although we will be even more limited going forward. Arnautovic is out, (known injury), and he's replaced by Hernandez. Hernadez is someone who can't play effectively as a lone striker. Although West Ham will show as 4-5-1, (which they'll pretend is 4-3-3), we're more likely to play a flat 4-4-2 with Antonio alongside Hernandez. West Ham will be very narrow and are likely to be overrun in central midfield, (lack of pace, range, and quality from Noble and Snodgrass). It could well be a war of attrition with West Ham trying to keep it at 0-0 or 0-1 for 75 minutes.
Liverpool outright, pass on the spread, and take the under.
