The semi-finals of the League Cup are over, and the Champions League knockout round is not far away, so Liverpool need to quickly grab some points in the Premier League and prepare some points reserves in advance.

On January 31, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against West Ham United at home.

This season, the Hammers played quite well for a while, and they were able to rank among the top four after more than a dozen rounds, which is indeed not bad.

But now, they seem to be lacking stamina. They had suffered four consecutive rounds of winless before. After defeating the relegation team Hull City at home with difficulty in the last round, they ended their invincibility, but the Premier League ranking has dropped very badly. .

Before the game started, Rogers took the initiative to stand up and cheer for the team.

"I believe everyone already knows that Southampton lost, so we must win this game."

"As long as we win the game, we can successfully squeeze out Southampton and return to the top four again."

"To be back in the top four before the knockout stages of the Champions League will be a huge incentive for us as a team."

In the earlier matches of this round of the Premier League, Southampton lost 0:1 to Swansea in an upset at home.

At present, Liverpool is only three points behind Southampton. As long as this game against West Ham is successfully won, Liverpool can tie Southampton in points and squeeze into the top four with a goal difference advantage.

Of course, if Manchester United also loses points in this round, Liverpool can even squeeze into the top three.

At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, with the determination to win, fully played their momentum.

In just 9 minutes of the opening, Sterling caught the opponent's return pass error, successfully intercepted the ball and broke into the penalty area to complete the goal.

Sterling's opening goal didn't seem to convince the Hammers. Allardyce directed his team to step up the attack on the sidelines and demanded an equalizer as soon as possible, but Liverpool quickly gave them a strong counterattack.

In the 18th minute, Gerrard scored the ball in the middle, and Li Chenglong made a high-speed shot from the left and shot a low and flat ball. The Spanish goalkeeper Adrian of the Hammers had no time to react, and the ball flew directly from his feet. into the goal.

"Bruce, he scored goals again. He has been in a very good state recently. Going goals is as easy as drinking water for him."

After Jackie Lee scored, Liverpool continued to strengthen their offense.

In the 36th minute, West Ham United made another mistake of their own. Henderson intercepted Downing, the former Liverpool player, in midfield, and then transferred to Coutinho.

Coutinho went straight forward, and Li Chenglong ran back and inserted, took the ball and shook the opponent's defender Collins, and deftly pushed and scored.

"Bruce, he scored twice. It's his second Premier League game in a row. He's in really good shape."

"With the Champions League knockout rounds approaching, this is definitely good news for Liverpool fans."

Jackie Lee scored twice and Sterling's goal gave Liverpool a 3-0 lead over West Ham United in the first half. This game is basically not a big problem.

At the start of the second half, the two sides inked each other for a while, but there was no change in the score, so Rodgers began to make substitutions, allowing Sturridge, who had just recovered from injury, to look for his status.

The Champions League knockout round is coming, and Sturridge returned from injury at this time, which is also good news for Liverpool.

Sturridge is really the kind of player who can be effective on the field.

In the 73rd minute, Moreno stepped forward to assist and sent a cross from the side. Sturridge found an opportunity in the penalty area, rushed to the goal and stabbed the ball into the opponent's goal.

Sturridge's goal completely killed the game, but Lee continued to look for opportunities and pursue his own hat-trick.

Finally, in the 84th minute, Gerrard's long-range shot created a corner kick, and then Coutinho took a corner kick. Lee Chenglong plucked a green onion from the dry land, jumped high from the crowd, and smashed his head to attack the goal vigorously, breaking through again The goal of the Hammers.

"Goooooooooooooal~~~~~~"

"Super Blues~~~~~hat trick~~~~he completed the hat trick!!"

"With this header, Bruce completed his second Premier League hat-trick and his first league hat-trick at Anfield!!"

After Jackie Lee scored a goal, the uniform shouts of King Bruce in the Anfield Stadium reappeared.

The entire Liverpool team celebrated with Lee Chenglong on the sidelines, while the dark polo team of West Ham United was at a loss.

From the looks of it, the Hammer Gang was a little stunned.

In this way, Jackie Lee led the team with a hat-trick and helped Liverpool beat West Ham United 5-0 at home, winning the team's biggest victory of the season.

After this big victory, Liverpool also got their wish and returned to the top four.

However, because Manchester United won, Liverpool can only rank fourth.

In this round of Premier League matches, the most concerned is Chelsea's home game against Manchester City, which is a battle between the first and second place.

Although Chelsea lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, they are ready for this focus game, beating Manchester City 2:1 at home to expand their lead again.

In the current Premier League standings, Chelsea continues to lead with 55 points. The second-placed Manchester City only has 47 points, a full 8 points behind, a very large points gap.

Manchester United in third place has 43 points, followed by Liverpool, Southampton and Arsenal with 42 points, but Liverpool has the most goal difference, followed by Southampton and Arsenal the least.

Further on, Tottenham also had 40 points, not much behind.

In general, Liverpool has successfully returned to the top four, but the position is not stable.

Behind Southampton, Arsenal and Tottenham, these three teams may threaten Liverpool's position at any time.

However, Liverpool can also threaten the team in front of them. Now Liverpool are only one point behind Manchester United and five points behind Manchester City. The gap is not that big.

The current Premier League has begun to become Chelsea's thriving, and several other teams are competing for three Champions League qualifications.

In the last four rounds of the Premier League, Jackie Lee scored a total of six goals, which brought his league goals to 22.

Diego Costa's recent form is also good, scoring four goals in four rounds, and his number of goals has reached 17.

However, Aguero's goals remained at 14 due to injuries during the intensive Christmas schedule.

In the Premier League scorer list, Li Chenglong's lead is more obvious, leading Costa by five goals and leading Aguero by eight goals.

In the past few days, those gambling companies have adjusted the odds of the Premier League Golden Boot to be very optimistic about Li Chenglong.

It is very likely that Li Chenglong will seamlessly come to the Premier League and immediately win the Premier League Golden Boot after two consecutive tops in the Bundesliga in the past two years.

However, the Premier League Golden Boot is still early, and we have to wait until the end of the season to talk about it. In addition, Diego Costa and Aguero are not completely out of chance to catch up.

However, at present, Jackie Lee has a good chance to break another record-the scoring record in the first season of joining the Premier League.

The previous record holder was Torres. He scored 24 goals in the Premier League in the first season of Toniu's first season with Liverpool, which was the previous highest record.

In addition, Van Nistelrooy and Aguero scored 23 goals in their first season in the Premier League, which is the second highest record.

Now Li Chenglong's Premier League goals have reached 22, only one goal away from Ruud van Nistelrooy's and Aguero's records, and only two goals away from Torres' highest record, and there are still 15 rounds in the Premier League this season. Breaking the record is only a matter of time.
