20'
Liverpool having a lot of possession but it is a bit of a stalemate at the moment.
17'
Thiago shoots at goal after a free kick falls to him on the edge of the box but Antonio blocks his effort.
14'
Origi gets to the by-line and Coufal makes a good sliding challenge to avoid him pulling the ball back to Salah.
10'
Antonio gets beyond Alexander-Arnold after Salah gave the ball away and crosses into the box but Phillips does well to clear the danger.
9'
Wijnadum bursts from midfield and blasts the ball towards goal but it flies a yard or so over the bar.
5'
Liverpool's two new reserve members of their front three combine with Shaqiri slipping the ball to Origi in the left hand side of the penalty area and he strikes the ball well but into the net. Salah stares at him in the middle with hands on hips.

West Ham get us underway....

The Bubbles are blowing and we are just about ready to go...
16:22
Jurgen Klopp explains why Sane and Firmino are not in the starting line-up today. The Brazilian is on the bench.
16:14
Firmino stays on the bench surprisingly with Salah, Origi and Shaqiri upfront for the Reds. Not the triple threat of yore is it?
16:08
West Ham's superb run has coincided, unsurprisingly, with the return of Michail Antonio to their side, and he will give the makeshift Liverpool central defence of Jordan Henderson and Nathaniel Phillips all they can handle.
16:04
Liverpool of course broke their five-game run without a win with a 3-1 win down the road at Tottenham on Thursday night.
15:55
West Ham certainly are in form since the New Year with league wins against Everton, West Brom, Burnley and Crystal Palace. They are now a totally different prospect from the side that lost to Liverpool 2-0 in this fixture 12 months ago.
15:47
The bookies are certainly fearing the Hammers with the team news seeing the Hammers' price come in from around 4-1 to 5/2 in places, while Liverpool have switched odds-against from odds-on.
15:43
There's been a number of upsets in the last few days of Premier League football and West Ham's chance of creating another is certainly helped with the absence of Sadio Mane.
15:32
This is how the in-form Hammers line up...
15:31
This is the Liverpool side who will take the field at the London Stadium...
