West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Liverpool at Anfield.
The Hammers will look to make it six matches unbeaten on the spin in all competitions against Liverpool, having recorded wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham and Anderlecht (twice) and a draw against Southampton.
As the Irons aim to win and climb above hosts Liverpool in the league table, Moyes has made three changes to face the Reds from the team that drew 1-1 with Southampton on Sunday.

The main concerns going into the game were over the fitness of Kurt Zouma and Craig Dawson, who have struggled recently with illness and a dead leg injury respectively. Zouma is back and starts, with West Ham returning to a back four, partnering Thilo Kehrer in between Ben Johnson and Aaron Cresswell, who start at full-back. Dawson misses out.
In midfield, Flynn Downes comes in for his full Premier League debut, partnering Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice in the centre of the pitch. Pablo Fornals also replaces Lucas Paqueta, with Vladimir Coufal and Emerson all dropping to the bench. Paqueta is not in the squad through injury.
Centre-back Nayef Aguerd (ankle) remains sidelined but has resumed light training, having been on the sidelines since pre-season. Winger Maxwel Cornet (calf) also remains out, having been forced off on his full league debut for the club against Wolves earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has made five changes from the side that beat Manchester City 1-0 on Sunday.
Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Kostas Tsimikas; Jordan Henderson, Thiago; Mohamed Salah, Roberton Firmino, Fabio Carvalho; Darwin Nunez
Substitutes: Caoimhin Kelleher, Nat Phillips, Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones, Fabinho, James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Bobby Clark
