    West Ham 0-0 Liverpool

    Remember, Liverpool have conceded 15 goals on their travels in the league this season, no side has let in more - not even the hapless Crystal Palace.

    Chicharito and Andre Ayew will be licking their lips.

    Ohh, what a chance.

    West Ham get a bit of luck as Manuel Lanzini's pass takes a deflection off a visiting defender and drops nicely into the path of Andre Ayew in the box.

    The West Ham striker prods a left-footed strike at goal, which beats the onrushing Simon Mignolet, but clips the post.

    Aside from that early Robert Firmino chance, little goalmouth action to speak of.

    Sadio Mane tests out his hamstrings with a run down the left, but fellow Senegal man Cheikhou Kouyate snuffs him out.

    As mentioned earlier, Simon Mignolet is the captain with Jordan Henderson and James Milner missing.

    Only the second Liverpool goalkeeper in the Premier League to be handed the armband.

    The other?

    And the Reds - or as they are today, the oranges - have a chance early on as Mohamed Salah's free-kick is flicked on towards the back post.

    Roberto Firmino is quickest to react on the angle, but the confident Joe Hart rushes off his line to make the save.

    That was a decent chance.

    Some say that Slaven Bilic can't be blamed for his side letting slip a two-goal lead against Crystal Palace last time out. Of course if West Ham had stood firm and taken all three points then the pressure on Bilic really would have evaporated. It shows how close at the moment it is the bottom of the league.

    It's a cliche but it's the width of a post that's the different between a manager being under pressure this week and enjoying a good little run. It can be quite painful to watch.

    What a poacher the 'Little Pea' is.

    As a former Manchester United player, he will love to score today.

    "Sadio Mane is coming back so with three or four wins in a row they could still fight for the title.”

    Liverpool could win back-to-back league games for the first time since August. Those victories against Crystal Palace and Arsenal are also the last time they kept consecutive clean sheets in the top flight.

    Jurgen Klopp suggested Sadio Mane could get 20 minutes off the bench but here he is, in the Liverpool starting line-up. It's a remarkably quick recovery, so let's see if he's as sharp as training-ground performances suggest he could be.

    Also, note the initials after Simon Mignolet's name. Not GK, we know he's a goalkeeper (no jokes please), but C. Yes, he's the captain, with Henderson out with a thigh problem.

    Liverpool XI

    Liverpool make two changes after beating Maribor in the Champions League.

Lorius Karius and Trent Alexander-Arnold miss out.

    Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Gomez, Matip, Klavan, Moreno, Can, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    There is not a game goes by where the future of West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is discussed.

    He bought himself time when his side made a stunning second-half comeback to beat Tottenham 3-2 from 2-0 down in the Carabao Cup.

    But that was followed by conceding a late, late equaliser against bottom side Crystal Palace last weekend.

    Which West Ham will turn up for him today?
