Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Bournemouth, Liverpool will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on West Ham United in the EFL Cup last 32. Arne Slot wants to win everything this season, but the former Feyenoord boss is widely expected to mix the squad for the EFL Cup game. Summer signing Federico Chiesa is pushing for his first Liverpool start, with Cody Gakpo likely to sneak into the starting XI as well. 

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is unlikely to be risked, while midfielder Harvey Elliott remains in the recovery room. The Hammers, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Chelsea and given Liverpool’s fine form, we predict that Julen Lopetegui’s men are going to return to London with their hands empty. Niclas Fullkrug is a major doubt, while fellow attacker Michail Antonio should be recalled to the starting XI.

Score Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 West Ham
