After a dramatic victory over Manchester City, Jurgen Klopp will be forced to watch his Liverpool side take on the Hammers without him. More than just a lift to the mood of the fans, Liverpool will be hoping that their win against the champions will provide a platform to rescue their poor start to the season. With the team yet to win away in the league this season, Jurgen Klopp will be thankful that this encounter is also at Anfield and that his star forward has finally arrived this season. Mo Salah’s winner against Manchester City was fuelled by confidence garnered from his six-minute hattrick against Rangers in the Champions league. Liverpool will be relying on the Egyptian more than ever with fellow attackers Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota out until after the World Cup. 

West Ham will have been disappointed to draw with Southampton at the weekend, bringing to an end a run of four wins (across all competitions) in a row. Last season David Moyes’ side lost 1-0 at Anfield but they did beat Liverpool at the London Stadium in a thrilling 3-2. With increased investment and a larger squad than last season, Moyes will fancy his chances of ruining Liverpool's resurgence. But history is not on his side. In 17 attempts David Moyes has never won at Anfield. Another area of concern for West Ham will be in central defence with Kurt Zouma and Craig Dawson both facing late fitness tests before Wednesday’s game. 

With the two sides 8th and 12th in the league table, both will be wanting to rectify poor starts to the season and with at least three goals in four of the last five meetings, the Liverpool vs West Ham live stream should be exciting to say the least. 

The lineups are:

Liverpool (Formation 4-4-2): 1 Alisson, 66 Alexander-Arnold, 2 Gomez, 4 van Dijk, 21 Tsimikas, 11 Salah, 14, Henderson 6 Thiago Alcántara, 28 Freitas Gouveia Carvalho, 9 Firmino, 27 Núñez

West Ham (Formation 4-3-3): 1 Fabianski, 2 Johnson, 24 Kehrer, 4 Zouma, 3 Cresswell, 12 Downes, 41 Rice, 28 Soucek, 20 Bowen, 7 Scamacca, 8 Fornals
