Emerson has committed 15 fouls across his 16 Premier League appearances this season (1.14 per 90).

He’ll be up against Mohamed Salah who is in electric form, the winger has won 22 fouls across his 16 Premier League appearances this season (1.41 per 90).

Emerson contested 11 duels in this fixture last season, he was tempted into committing 1 foul and should find himself with similar numbers today against the best player in the Premier League at the moment.

Jarrod Bowen has had 21 shots on target across his 18 Premier League appearances this season (1.18 per 90), resulting in 5 goals.

He’s become an important player for Julien Lopetegui’s side in the final third in the absence of a consistent number 9. Bowen and Kudus present West Ham’s biggest attacking threat from the wide areas.

Bowen scored the winner in West Ham’s 1-0 win over Southampton last time out, he managed 6 shots in the contest overall and although he’ll be limited in the chances he gets against a solid Liverpool defence, his numbers suggest he can manage at least 1 attempt on goal.

Gravenberch has won 30 fouls across his 17 Premier League appearances this season (1.80 per 90).

The midfielder has become a crucial component in Arne Slot’s well oiled machine in being tasked with connecting the defence and attack. His ability to withstand the opposition press and turn sharply informs his solid fouls won record this season.

West Ham are averaging 11.8 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Salah has had 34 shots on target across his 17 Premier League appearances this season (2.05 per 90).

No Liverpool player is averaging more attempts on goal per 90 than Salah who has had at least 2 shots on target in each of his last 2 Premier League games, v Leicester and Tottenham.

Salah had 2 shots on target in the league meeting between these sides at Anfield last season and came off the bench to score in Liverpool’s 5-1 win over the Hammers in the EFL Cup in September.

Salah has registered 27 goal contributions across his 17 Premier League appearances this season (16 goals, 11 assists).

He tops the Liverpool ranks for both statistics and his underlying numbers also suggest that he is in some of the best form of his career. He’s averaging 2.05 shots on target per 90 and 1.93 chances created per 90.

Salah scored in the league meeting between these sides at Anfield last campaign and also came up off the bench back in September to score in another comprehensive Liverpool victory over the Hammers.

Mac Allister has been shown 5 yellow cards across his 16 Premier League appearances this season, no Liverpool player has been shown more yellow cards than the Argentine.

Mac Allister was fortunate to avoid a 6th yellow card of the campaign in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Leicester last time out – he committed 5 fouls and contested 17 duels, losing 9.

He’ll be up against Lucas Paqueta who has won 19 fouls across his 17 Premier League appearances this season, 14 of these have been starts taking his average to 1.43 fouls won per 90.

Mohammed Kudus has won 26 fouls across his 13 Premier League appearances this season (2.15 per 90). He’s one of West Ham’s most dangerous attacking threats and wins fouls with his excellent dribbling ability.

He should get plenty of space in the game when Liverpool lose the ball in transition with his opponent in Trent Alexander-Arnold often given licence to push high. Kudus is averaging 3.56 successful dribbles per 90.

Kudus contested 18 duels in this fixture last season and was fouled once, his dribbling and fouls won numbers are consistent in the Premier League this season and he’s one of a few players that can cause Liverpool issues in transition.

Jones has won 13 fouls across his 14 Premier League appearances this season, just 8 of these have been starts taking his average to 1.59 fouls won per 90.

He’s grown into a more reliable player for Liverpool under Arne Slot and will have an important role here in the absence of Dominik Szoboszlai who is suspended. Jones contested 7 duels in the cup meeting between these sides in September.

He’ll be up against Edson Alvarez who is averaging 1.61 fouls committed per 90 across his 14 Premier League appearances this season. He can be very reckless with his challenges and could struggle to contain Jones who enters this one with plenty of confidence after his goal against Leicester.
