- Carroll has two goals in four games against Liverpool since leaving
Andy Carroll 6/4 to strike in normal time
It’s FA Cup fourth round replay action tonight as Liverpool travel to east London for another clash with West Ham United, and the hosts’ frontman Andy Carroll is 6/4 to strike anytime in normal time as Coral’s bet of the day.
Slaven Bilic’s Hammers gallantly held Jurgen Klopp’s Reds to a scoreless draw at Anfield last month and will look to topple them now on home soil, potentially booking their position in the fifth round as a result.
With towering targetman Carroll in his ranks, Bilic can be confident, with the former Liverpool striker having dispatched past his old employers twice in four outings since departing the red half of Merseyside.
Carroll can deliver hammer blow to Reds hopes
The intimidating marksman has been plagued with injuries again during the course of this current campaign, but has still managed to become an integral figurehead in the West Ham attack when fighting fit.
Carroll has contributed three goals in the Premier League this term, and played a vital part in the third round coup over Hull City, with his last two strikes having been top-flight match-winners over both defending champions Chelsea and Southampton.
With mercurial playmaker Dimitri Payet back to his best in that pivotal attacking midfield role behind Carroll, the nine-cap former England international will relish featuring against familiar faces once again alongside such an astute creative star.
Liverpool’s defensive frailties have been clearly highlighted in previous weeks during domestic duties, with Klopp’s side having so far recorded the worst rearguard record of the top 14 teams in the Premier League table.
In fact, only relegation battling outfits Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Norwich City, Sunderland and Aston Villa have conceded more goals domestically, proving Carroll’s odds of 6/4 to gain goal scoring success in normal time are very promising in this FA Cup replay encounter.
