Jurgen Klopp’s men were shutout in a 1-0 away loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and will want to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.West Ham is currently in the bottom three and clashed in January with the league leaders, who recorded a modest 2-0 victory.

Liverpool is expected to be without Jordan Henderson for Monday’s game after picking up an injury on Wednesday.Liverpool won their last two league games at Anfield against the Hammers and the Londoners have registered only one win in 46 away league games at Anfield.

Liverpool could equal the record of 18 consecutive league wins set by Manchester City if they get three points on Monday.West Ham’s tactics on Monday could mirror the ones they used to frustrate Manchester City for large periods in their last game and they could resemble the defensive master class employed by Atletico in midweek.

Liverpool should expect another tough assignment but the energy of the Anfield crowd at this expectant time of the year might create too daunting of a task for the misfiring Hammers. They have struggled at both ends of the pitch and Liverpool should have a good platform to push on after European disappointment.
