West Ham have made a habit of producing their best in cup competitions though, whether that be in Europe or when knocking Arsenal out with a superb performance last month.
The Hammers go into this match on a high too, having cruised past Wolves to move up to eighth in the table, while Liverpool must improve significantly from the display they produced in a low-quality goalless draw with Manchester United.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Liverpool vs West Ham is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time tonight, Wednesday December 20, 2023.
Liverpool vs West Ham team news
Ryan Gravenberch is likely to miss out for Liverpool, although the Dutchman is suffering from fatigue more than injury. Harvey Elliott could come into the side after a string of impressive performances off the bench.
Klopp may opt to rotate his side, with a huge Premier League clash against Arsenal to come this weekend. Caoimhin Kelleher is set to start in goal, while Jarell Quansah and Cody Gakpo will hope to get chances to impress.
West Ham can be expected to name a strong side, with David Moyes fully aware that a victory here would leave the club as one of the big favourites to win the competition. Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus all shone against Wolves and it would be a surprise if that was not the front three at Anfield.
Konstantinos Mavropanos could come into the side at the back, while Alphonse Areola faces a battle to win back his place in goal from Lukasz Fabianski.
Liverpool vs West Ham prediction
Real Madrid are the only team to have beaten Liverpool at Anfield so far in 2023, while the draw with Man United on Sunday ended the 11-match winning run Jurgen Klopp's side had put together on home soil this season.
West Ham will believe they can cause Liverpool real problems on the break and they will likely get space to exploit at times, but the Reds will be desperate to return to winning ways and can be expected to take out some of the frustration from the weekend on the Hammers.
Liverpool to win, 3-1.
