Liverpool will wear their white kit for trip to West Ham after being ‘forced into a change’

Liverpool will wear their white kit for their clash with West Ham on Wednesday night, despite their shocking record in the strip. 

The Reds travel to the London Stadium off the back of consecutive Premier League wins, while the Hammers are unbeaten in their last five matches. 

Both sides come into the match in good form, yet the Hammers will feel they have the upper hand after discovering the news on Liverpool’s kit choice for the game.

It’s been confirmed that Jurgen Klopp’s side have been ‘forced into a change’ of strip for the clash and will play the fixture in their white, away kit. 

David Moyes and his team will be delighted with the news, given Liverpool’s awful record whilst wearing the kit this season.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have failed to win a single match when wearing the white kit this season

In their four outings this season, in which they’ve worn the white kit, Klopp’s side fell to a defeat in all of them.

In visits to Manchester United, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, Liverpool found themselves on the losing side and, in total, conceded seven goals.

And, in those same games, the Merseyside club were only able to muster four goals themselves – a vast disparity with the amount conceded. 

Luckily for Klopp, it’ll be the final time that the Reds will be in their away strip this season, with a run of home fixtures ending their campaign. 

They still face trips to Leicester and Southampton but with those clubs playing in blue and white kits, respectively, Klopp’s side won’t be needing their away strip. 

The Reds had been enduring a torrid few months of late, after suffering defeats to Real Madrid and Man City, as well as draws with Chelsea and Arsenal.

However, Klopp’s side have turned their form around in recent weeks, with a 6-1 win over Leeds and a 3-2 victory against Nottingham Forest being their latest results. 

The Reds fell to a 3-2 defeat against Arsenal earlier this season, while wearing the white kit

The Hammers, meanwhile, come into Wednesday’s game amid a strong run of form lately

Earlier this week, Klopp admitted that he is desperate for Moyes not to leave West Ham as it would make him one of the oldest managers in the Premier League.

The 55-year-old jokingly stated he would have been horrified if Moyes left the club earlier in the season, in what has been a tough campaign for the Hammers, to leave him as the oldest manager in the division.

‘If West Ham would’ve sacked David Moyes, I would’ve been the oldest manager in the Premier League’, Klopp quipped.

‘I want to avoid that. Somebody told me before the season I was the second oldest and since then I have fingers crossed for West Ham. David has to stay!’
