Liverpool suffered only their second defeat of the season when they went down 4-3 to Bournemouth last time out, though Jurgen Klopp's side will be expecting to get back to winning ways when they play host to struggling West Ham United at Anfield on Sunday. Fourteen places separate these sides in the Premier League table, and anything other than a victory would be disappointing for the Merseysiders.

After qualifying for the Europa League last season, it has so far been a disastrous campaign for West Ham. They've picked up just 12 points from their first 14 league games, and things went from bad to worse when they were thrashed 5-1 at home to Arsenal last weekend. Slaven Bilic's position as manager is looking increasingly precarious, and another big defeat on Sunday could well be the final straw.

Three big things to know
1. Liverpool will be without Philippe Coutinho, Danny Ings, and Daniel Sturridge, who are all injured. Emre Can, meanwhile, faces a late fitness test. West Ham's injury list is even longer: Gokhan Tore, Sam Byram, Diafra Sakho, Reece Oxford, and James Collins are all on the treatment table, and Cheikhou Kouyate will have to recover from a groin problem if he's to be involved.
2. West Ham may blame teething problems with their new stadium for their poor start to the season, but the Hammers have been even worse on the road. They've lost all but two of their away games in the league so far, with their only victory away from the Olympic Stadium coming at Crystal Palace in October.
3. West Ham can take some heart from their recent record against Liverpool. They’ve won three of their last four meetings with the Merseysiders, including an excellent 3-0 win on their last visit to Anfield in August 2015.
