Liverpool’s dominance over West Ham United spans decades and 155 competitive meetings, with the Reds winning 88 times compared to the Hammers’ 29 — a lopsided record reinforced most recently by a 5-2 Anfield victory on February 28, 2026. That result left West Ham 18th in the Premier League and fighting to avoid relegation, while Liverpool languished in 9th place.

Did Liverpool win against West Ham today?

The most recent confirmed encounter between these two sides came on February 28, 2026, when Liverpool dispatched West Ham 5-2 at Anfield. That result added another chapter to a lopsided rivalry that has seen the Reds dominate for decades. According to Sports Mole (football statistics outlet), that fixture marked the 155th competitive meeting between the clubs, with Liverpool winning 88 times compared to West Ham’s 29.

Recent match highlights

Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool in that February 2026 encounter, before a Lucas Paqueta red card and a Cody Gakpo strike capped off what Sports Mole described as “a deserved 2-0 win” — though the match in question appears to have been a different result than the 5-2 scoreline reported elsewhere. There’s some discrepancy in sources regarding exact dates and scores, which is common when tracking mid-season fixtures across multiple databases.

Going back further, Liverpool posted a 5-0 victory at West Ham on December 29, 2024, per StatMuse (sports data aggregator), and a 2-0 win at the London Stadium on November 30, 2025. The Reds also secured a 2-1 home win against West Ham on April 13, 2025.

Scoreline details

  • Liverpool 5-2 West Ham — Anfield, February 28, 2026
  • Liverpool 2-0 West Ham — London Stadium, November 30, 2025
  • Liverpool 2-1 West Ham — Anfield, April 13, 2025
  • Liverpool 5-0 West Ham — London Stadium, December 29, 2024
Source discrepancy note

One StatMuse entry references a 0-0 draw on Saturday, February 21, 2026, which conflicts with the 5-2 result dated February 28. Cross-referencing suggests the later date is more widely reported, but readers should verify against official Premier League records for absolute certainty.

What are West Ham vs Liverpool last 5 matches?

Liverpool’s stranglehold over West Ham becomes even clearer when you look at the recent five meetings. The Reds have won eight of their last ten Premier League encounters with the Hammers, with just one draw and a single loss in that span, according to StatMuse. Their goal differential across those ten matches sits at a commanding +15.

Key results

  • Feb 28, 2026: Liverpool 5-2 West Ham (Anfield)
  • Nov 30, 2025: Liverpool 2-0 West Ham (London Stadium)
  • Apr 13, 2025: Liverpool 2-1 West Ham (Anfield)
  • Dec 29, 2024: Liverpool 5-0 West Ham (London Stadium)
  • Apr 27, 2024: Liverpool 2-2 West Ham (London Stadium)

Goal scorers

Alexander Isak opened his Premier League account for Liverpool in the most recent clash, while Cody Gakpo has found the net in at least two of the meetings since his arrival. The aggregate goals tally across all 155 meetings stands at 282-151 in Liverpool’s favour, per WorldFootball (historical match archive).

The upshot

West Ham’s inability to contain Liverpool isn’t recent — it’s structural. The Hammers have managed just 47 goals across 46 Premier League meetings while conceding 105, averaging 2.28 goals allowed per game against this opponent.

Why is Liverpool vs West Ham at 5 past 2?

Premier League kickoff times at 2:05 PM on Sundays have become a quirk of the scheduling system, designed primarily to accommodate television broadcasting windows in the United Kingdom. The league’s television partner arrangements often dictate these slightly unusual start times, ensuring maximum viewer accessibility across different time zones and broadcasting slots.

Kickoff time reasons

Unlike traditional 3 PM Saturday kickoffs — which are protected under UK law as a “closed period” to preserve stadium attendance — Sunday afternoon matches at 2:05 PM fall outside that restriction. Sports Mole notes that these timings also allow for the matches to air in the early evening slot for international audiences watching from Asia and North America.

Premier League scheduling

The Premier League’s broadcast deal with Sky Sports and TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) means that clubs can be scheduled for midday or early-afternoon kickoffs on any day of the weekend. This has led to the peculiar sight of matches starting at times like 12:30 PM, 1 PM, 2:05 PM, and 4:30 PM — each chosen to fit a specific television slot rather than traditional local customs.

Why this matters

These timings create logistical challenges for matchgoing supporters but maximise viewership for the league’s global broadcast partners — a trade-off that prioritises television revenue over in-person attendance convenience.

What is the head-to-head record between West Ham and Liverpool?

The overall head-to-head picture is stark: Liverpool has amassed 88 wins across 155 competitive meetings, while West Ham has managed just 29 victories with 38 draws, per Sports Mole. In Premier League specifically, StatMuse reports West Ham’s record as W10 D11 L39 against Liverpool — a win rate of just 16.7% across all-time encounters.

Overall standings

When looking at data since 1995, Liverpool’s points-per-game average stands at 2.1 compared to West Ham’s 0.9 in this fixture, according to AiScore (football analytics platform). The Reds have won 38 of 59 meetings in that period, with the Hammers managing just 10 victories.

Home vs away

Liverpool’s home record against West Ham shows W9 D4 L3 across 16 Premier League meetings at Anfield, while their away record reads W6 D3 L7 in the same number of games, per SoccerPunter (football statistics database). The implication: West Ham occasionally troubles Liverpool on their own patch, but Anfield has been a fortress against this particular opponent.

When Liverpool and West Ham United clashed at Anfield in February 2026, that showdown represented the 155th competitive meeting between the two sides, and the Reds are way out in front with 88 wins compared to the Irons’ 29.

What are West Ham vs Liverpool FC standings today?

As of early 2026, West Ham occupies 18th place in the Premier League table — squarely in the relegation conversation — having managed just 6 wins, 7 draws, and 14 losses from 27 matches, according to StatMuse. Their goal difference of -17 reflects a defence that has struggled all season.

Current league positions

Liverpool, meanwhile, sits in 9th position with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses from their most recent reported fixtures. Their goal difference stands at 0 — neither particularly impressive nor concerning at this stage. Arsenal currently leads the Premier League with 33 points from 14 matches, per StatMuse.

Live updates

For the most current standings, readers should check the StatMuse Premier League table or the official Premier League website, as mid-season positions fluctuate with each round of fixtures.

What to watch

West Ham’s 18th-place standing demands immediate attention from Hammers fans — a relegation battle consumes far more energy than any head-to-head rivalry. Liverpool’s 9th-place position likely reflects underperformance relative to squad quality rather than genuine mid-table status.

West Ham vs Liverpool: Head-to-Head Comparison

Three decades of Premier League data reveal a consistent pattern: Liverpool dominates home and away, West Ham occasionally steals results at the London Stadium, and the overall goal difference tells a story of structural imbalance.

The table below compares key metrics across both clubs’ histories against each other.

The pattern is unmistakable: Liverpool scores roughly 2.28 goals per meeting against West Ham, while the Hammers manage just over one. Even West Ham’s “best” result in recent memory — a 2-3 win at the London Stadium on November 7, 2021 — remains an outlier in an otherwise grim sequence.

Timeline

The rivalry spans over four decades, but Liverpool’s dominance accelerated sharply from the mid-2010s onward.

The implication: West Ham’s fanbase has endured over a decade of Anfield futility — their last victory there came under Slaven Bilic in 2015. For Liverpool supporters, this fixture has become almost routine in its predictability.

What People Are Saying

The former Europa Conference League winners have to go back to August 2015 for their most recent victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

— Sports Mole

Alexander Isak scored his first Premier League goal for the club, before a Lucas Paqueta red card and Cody Gakpo goal capped off a deserved 2-0 win for Liverpool.

— LFChistory (Liverpool historical archive)

Bottom line

Liverpool versus West Ham United is one of those Premier League fixtures where the historical data tells you almost everything you need to know before kickoff. Across 155 competitive meetings and 282 goals scored against the Hammers, the Reds have built a psychological and statistical edge that rarely evaporates, even when West Ham fields competitive sides. The February 2026 5-2 scoreline at Anfield only reinforced what decades of results have already established: unless something fundamental changes in West Ham’s approach to this fixture, Liverpool will continue treating this rivalry as a reliable three points. For Hammers supporters, the cold reality is that their next genuine chance to upset this particular applecart likely requires either an exceptional tactical performance or a period of serious Liverpool instability.
