Nice movement by Divock Origi to find space behind the West Ham defence following Andrew Robertson's inviting pass but Jarrod Bowen is back to make a vital block.

Both teams are still feeling their way into this. It's been a reasonable start but you feel there's much more to come from both sides.

Kevin: I would really love to see Shaqiri get a goal! Or Origi. Or both!

Ayo Obit: Hard to see how Liverpool can sneak this one out with a depleted back line and front line against an in-form West Ham!

Delicious cross-field ball by Andrew Robertson to find Trent Alexander-Arnold which ends with Gini Wijnaldum firing a first-time attempt over Lukasz Fabianski's bar. Nice move.

Divock Origi lashes a chance wide but I'm not sure it would have counted as West Ham were appealing for offside. Origi can certainly hit the ball with force but he also needs to hit them on target.

Said Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen combine to launch West Ham's first attack of note but it doesn't come to anything. It's been a cagey start - neither side giving much away.

Early corner to Liverpool but Andrew Robertson's attempt doesn't even clear the first man.

I don't understand the Liverpool starting XI, Roberto Firmino was looking like his old self. This is a must-win game for Liverpool. Why do you not play him?

Play is stopped after about 20 seconds following a clash of heads. Gini Wijnaldum felt that! The good news for Jurgen Klopp is that his midfielder is ok to continue. The last thing the Liverpool boss needs in another injury.

It's West Ham who get this game under way.

The bubble machine has been turned on and the teams are out on the pitch. We're moments from kick-off. Let's have your predictions, folks.

I don't think I've been this excited for a 5th versus 4th game.

West Ham are bang in form. Injury-hit Liverpool need the points to stay in touch with the leaders.

A HUGE 90 minutes coming up.

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, who is making his 200th Premier League appearance, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's been a beautiful journey. To come to the Premier League was a really good thing for me and something I wanted to do for a long time.

"There have been moments of joy when we won the Premier League and sadness when we didn't win games.

"The Tottenham win has given us confidence. We were so used to winning games that even the draws have felt like defeats. It's start not been easy with all the injuries but this is another situation we have to deal with."

Leeds United

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We knew how to survive in the difficult moments and we tried to avoid them accumulating passes because it can be very difficult to take it off them. We managed the offensive actions we wanted to create."

On Patrick Bamford: "For a goalscorer not to score is always a problem. What I value most is for 3-1 he passed to Jack Harrison when a goalscorer would normally go for goal. He was very generous and thought more of the team."

I know Liverpool went out of the FA Cup against Manchester United last weekend but I saw some signs of improvement from them, especially in attack, and there was more of the same in Thursday's win over Tottenham.

This is a tough test for Jurgen Klopp's side, but it is the sort of game they will win if they maintain their current form.
