LIVERPOOL VS WEST HAM PREMIER LEAGUE LATEST ODDS

Liverpool are the huge favourites for their clash today with West Ham United, but they are shorn of the services of top striker Fernando Torres and Rafa Benitez’s men will also know that nothing but all three points will do- now that Spurs have vaulted into the lead for fourth place.

William Hill has listed Liverpool at a 2/5 price tag while the draw pays out at 10/3. Should West Ham pull off a much-needed victory, you’ll be looking at a juicy 15/2 listing. OPTA Sportsdata points out that 0-0 draws are a more common occurrence for West Ham when they visit Anfield and they are suggesting that as today’s main top. A 0-0 draw pays 11/1 with William Hill.
Looking at the correct score market, you’ll see Liverpool trading at an 11/2 for a 1-0 or 2-0 victory. Liverpool to win 2-1 pays out at 7/1 while a 3-0 result rewards at 15/2. A 1-1 draw pays 7/1 while a 1-0 result to West Ham pays 14/1. If the Hammers get the victory- a 2-1 result is extremely plausible and you’re looking at an 18/1 price.
David Ngog is poised for a big match tonight if the bookies are to be believed and you’ll find him trading at a 10/11 price to score anytime while he is listed at 6/1 to score 2 or more and a slim 20/1 for a hat-trick. Steven Gerrard is priced alongside Dirk Kuyt at even money to score anytime and a 4/1 listing to score first or last. Ryan Babel is at 5/4 anytime while Yossi Benayoun is at 15/8. Keep your eye on the Israeli midfielder if he gets the start.
For West Ham, Carlton Cole is an interesting shout at 10/3 anytime while Ilan trades at 7/2 and Alessandro Diamanti is at 5/1 with Guille Franco.
Liverpool fans who expect a big performance from their team will see Liverpool (-2.0) on the handicap at 16/5, which is a decent price against a bottom 4 team at home. West Ham (+1.0) is listed at 17/10.
I can certainly see a penalty in this one and the price on a penalty at any time is trading at 10/3 while no penalties are at 1/5. That penalty to be awarded and scored is at 15/4 while awarded and missed pays out at 12/1. An anytime red card in this match rewards at 15/4 and things could get interesting with both sides desperate for points.
