Top contender Liverpool FC (2-0-1, 7 points) will try to stay unbeaten in the 2015-2016 Premier League season as it clashes with currently struggling team West Ham United FC (1-2-0, 3 points) in Anfield on Saturday, August 29.
The Reds had beaten unheralded teams Stoke City FC and Bournemouth AFC with scores of 1-0 in their first two games of the season before settling for a goalless draw against fellow powerhouse squad Arsenal FC at the Emirates Stadium in their last game on Tuesday.
It was a showcase of defense for Brendan Rogers and Arsene Wenger's teams as both goalkeepers Simon Mignolet and Petr Cech did not allow any shots to go through, as per BBC Sport.
The high-profile match left both sides a lot of lessons on offense as they move forward in the competitions, with Liverpool facing West Ham next.
Meanwhile, the Hammers are coming off a disappointing 3-4 loss to newly-promoted club Bournemouth at their own Boleyn Ground last Saturday.
West Ham was not able to stop Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson from delivering a hat trick for the Cherries as the 23-year-old Englishman gave his squad their historic first-ever win in the Premier League, as reported by ESPN.
Manager Slaven Bilić should not let the frustration of their recent home loss to pass on to the match against Liverpool or they will more likely succumb to another defeat.
The predicted result is a 3-0 rout for Liverpool. Rogers and his boys are one of the hottest teams in the league as his trio of scorers Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino, and Philippe Coutinho remain deadly for any team.
Liverpool starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Mignolet; Gomez, Skrtel, Lovren, Clyne; Can, Milner, Leiva; Coutinho, Firmino, Benteke
West Ham starting lineup (4-3-2-1 formation): Randolph; Ogbonna, Reid, Cresswell, Collins; Kouyaté, Obiang, Nolan; Payet, Noble; Sakho
