West Ham vs Liverpool CONFIRMED line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture

Liverpool are looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to West Ham on Wednesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp’s undefeated side can move 19 points clear with a victory, having dropped only two points this entire season.

However, they did almost come remarkably unstuck last time out against League One Shrewsbury Town, pegged back to a 2-2 draw at New Meadow.

Meanwhile, West Ham’s plight continues to worsen with the club currently only clear of the relegation zone on goal difference. David Moyes insists he’s relishing the task of “mending” the club again, however, further protests are already being planned by the club’s supporters.

Here is everything you need to know:

When is it?

The match kicks off at 7.45pm on Wednesday 29 January 2020.

How can I watch it?

Unfortunately, the match will not be broadcast live, due to Manchester City taking on Manchester United in the second-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at the same time.

Team news

West Ham are hampered by a lengthy injury list with Lukasz Fabianski, Felipe Anderson, Ryan Fredericks, Andriy Yarmolenko and Jack Wilshere all ruled out, while Robert Snodgrass and Arthur Masuaku are both doubts.

Mark Noble, Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna are expected to return to the starting line-up after being rested for the Hammers’ FA Cup defeat by West Brom.
