Jurgen Klopp’s side will be looking to stretch their unbeaten Premier League streak to an incredible 41 games when they travel to London
Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to an increasingly insurmountable 19 points, should they defeat West Ham at the London Stadium on Wednesday.
The Reds have taken the league by storm this season and are yet to fall to a single defeat, having broken the previous record set by Manchester City for the best-ever start by a Premier League club .
Jurgen Klopp is expected to re-jig his entire squad for the trip to London following a dismal 2-2 draw against Shrewsbury Town on Sunday and name a much stronger XI.
David Moyes’ West Ham, meanwhile, have taken just four points from their last five games and find themselves 17th in the table.
The two sides are yet to meet in the Premier League this season, and Moyes will be encouraged by the Reds’ narrow 2-1 win at Wolves last week – where the league leaders began to show just a slight flicker of fatigue, needing a last-gasp Roberto Firmino winner to secure the victory five minutes from time.
