Why you should back Liverpool
Forwards Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota have been the main reasons for the Reds' current scoring outburst. Salah, who ranks fourth in the Premier League with 16 goals, is in the midst of a three-game streak during which he has converted four times. The 30-year-old Egyptian netted his 183rd goal with Liverpool in their 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, tying him with Robbie Fowler for sixth place on the club's all-time list.
Jota has battled hamstring and calf injuries in 2022-23 and began his season with a 13-game scoring drought. But the 26-year-old has been on fire of late, registering a brace in each of his last two contests. Forwards Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez are tied for second on the Reds at nine goals apiece, and the latter netted the lone goal in the team's 1-0 home triumph over West Ham earlier this season.

Why you should back West Ham
The Hammers enjoyed a scoring surge in their last contest after producing six goals over their previous six contests. Forward Michail Antonio was one of four players to convert against Bournemouth, giving him four goals this season after having recorded 10 in three consecutive campaigns. The 33-year-old Antonio is one goal behind wingers Jarrod Bowen and Said Benrahma for the team lead.
Bowen and Benrahma both scored on April 16 to erase a two-goal deficit and earn West Ham a 2-2 draw against league-leading Arsenal. Lucas Paqueta and Declan Rice each scored his third goal of the season on Sunday, while fellow midfielder Pablo Fornals registered his second. The 27-year-old Fornals also found the back of the net in the Hammers' 3-2 home triumph over Liverpool last campaign. See which team to pick here.
