In the final Premier League matchday of 2024, Liverpool looks to solidify their lead at the top of the table as they face West Ham, a team eager to climb the standings.
West Ham Eyeing a Rise in the Table
At the London Olympic Stadium, the home side, West Ham, will host an intriguing clash against the league leaders. Currently sitting 13th in the table with 23 points, West Ham hopes to improve their position. A win could potentially lift them to 10th, provided favorable results in matches involving Tottenham, Brentford, and Brighton, the team currently occupying that spot.
Liverpool Aiming to Stay Comfortable at the Summit
Liverpool, on the other hand, is determined to secure their 14th victory of the season and end the first half of the 2024-25 campaign with 45 points. The Reds have had an impressive run, suffering only one defeat and three draws.
Although Liverpool has already guaranteed their position as league leaders heading into 2025, a loss could shrink their 6-point cushion over second-placed Arsenal. While it wouldn’t cost them the top spot, in a league as competitive as the Premier League, dropping points can have significant long-term consequences.
The match is set to kick off today at 11:15 a.m. CST at the London Olympic Stadium. Liverpool aims to maintain their dominance, while West Ham seeks to end the year on a high note in front of their home fans.
