Liverpool v West Ham United: match preview

This article is more than 7 years old

What Slaven Bilic would give to turn back the clock. Last season West Ham recorded a league double over Liverpool for the first time since 1963-64, knocking Jürgen Klopp’s side out of the FA Cup too for good measure, but they return to Anfield without a win in six matches, one point above the relegation zone and with their manager under pressure following a humiliating 5-1 home defeat by Arsenal last weekend. Bilic needs a reaction, but so does Klopp following Liverpool’s collapse at Bournemouth. There is plenty at stake. Andy Hunter
