West Ham United star Michail Antonio has made an astonishing prediction ahead of his team's upcoming match against Liverpool. Antonio confidently claims that West Ham will finish above Liverpool in the Premier League this season.
Impressive Start to the Season
West Ham has had a fantastic start to the season, with just one loss so far. The team will visit Anfield on Sunday, seeking to continue their impressive form. David Moyes' side has only been defeated by the treble winners, Manchester City.
Confidence in West Ham's Performance
During an appearance on The Footballer's Football Podcast, Antonio expressed his belief in his team's abilities. He stated, "I am backing myself over Liverpool. You know what, I think we are going to finish higher than Liverpool this season. I'm putting it out there."
However, Antonio's teammate Callum Wilson tried to bring him back down to earth. Wilson humorously responded, "Michail, wake up. I think he's having one of those dreams again."
Reaction from Fans
While some fans applauded Antonio's confidence, others were more skeptical. One fan joked, "What could go wrong with a statement like that!" Another stated, "All of this talk just before playing Liverpool this weekend is an accident waiting to happen."
Previous Controversial Statements
This is not the first time Antonio has made bold claims about Liverpool. During the summer transfer window, he spoke out about Mohamed Salah's potential move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad. Antonio believed Salah wanted to leave Liverpool, with the club blocking the deal, contrary to popular belief.
