After a surprise upturn in fortunes, West Ham will hope to continue to build momentum as they host Liverpool.

Two strong wins over Fulham and Bournemouth, either side of a draw with Arsenal, have lifted the home side out of real bother.

David Moyes’s side are now six points clear of Everton in 18th and have a game in hand, meaning one more win might be enough to secure Premier League survival.

They take on a Liverpool team given a fright by Nottingham Forest at the weekend that will be hoping to finish strongly and secure a European place.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is West Ham vs Liverpool?

West Ham vs Liverpool is due to kick off at 7.45pm BST on Wednesday 26 April at the London Stadium.

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on BT Sport 2, with coverage from 7.15pm BST. Subscibers can stream the game via the BT Sport app or online player.

Team news

West Ham remain without Gianluca Scamacca, but Angelo Ogbonna returned to the bench against Bournemouth after recovering from injury. David Moyes could well pick the same starting side after the big away win.

Roberto Firmino is expected to again miss out for Liverpool, who count Stefan Bajcetic and Naby Keita among their long term absentees.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice, Paqueta; Bowen, Antonio, Benrahma

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Nunez, Jota

Odds

Liverpool win 10/11

Prediction

Huawei's Harmony aims to end China's reliance on Windows, Android
Packed into a small room, a drone, bipedal robot, supermarket checkout and other devices showcase a vision of China's software future - one where an operating system developed by national champion Huawei has replaced Windows and Android. The collection is at the Harmony Ecosystem Innovation Centre in the southern city of Shenzhen, a local government-owned entity that encourages authorities, companies and hardware makers to develop software using OpenHarmony, an open-source version of the operating system Huawei launched five years ago after U.S. sanctions cut off support for Google's Android. While Huawei's recent strong-selling smartphone launches have been closely watched for signs of advances in China's chip supply chain, the company has also quietly built up expertise in sectors crucial to Beijing's vision of technology self-sufficiency from operating systems to in-vehicle software.
