Liverpool will welcome West Ham United to Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. The Reds are pushing to finish in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) come the end of the season, after beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 away from home last time out.
Meanwhile, West Ham continue to fight relegation after being held to a 0-0 draw by Bournemouth on home soil. An unlikely victory for the Hammers could lift them outside of the dreaded drop zone.
