West Ham confirmed team news as David Moyes names side to face Liverpool amid Pablo Fornals call

West Ham United boss David Moyes has named his side to face Liverpool at the London Stadium

The Hammers will look to bolster their current six-point advantage on the Premier League’s relegation zone against the Reds, currently sat 14th after their 4-0 win over Bournemouth on Sunday.

As the Irons look to bolster their current Premier League position, where a win would take them up to 12th, Moyes has made no changes to face Liverpool from the side that recorded their biggest away win in almost 12 months on the south coast three days ago.

In an unchanged side, goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski keeps his place in goal after clean sheets in his last two away matches against Fulham and Bournemouth.

With the back four putting in an impressive showing against the Cherries, Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma, Nayef Aguerd and Aaron Cresswell start at the back.

Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta both keep their places in midfield either side of captain Declan Rice.

Despite coming off the bench to score a scorpion kick against the Cherries, Spaniard Pablo Fornals has been left on the bench, with Said Benrahma preferred to him on the left wing. Benrahma starts on the left of a front three alongside Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio.

Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca is set to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery and is therefore, absent.

Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has made one changes from the side that beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 in the Premier League on Saturday.

West Ham United starting XI: Lukasz Fabianski; Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma, Nayef Aguerd, Aaron Cresswell; Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice, Lucas Paqueta; Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio, Said Benrahma

Substitutes: Alphonse Areola, Thilo Kehrer, Angelo Ogbonna, Emerson, Manuel Lanzini, Flynn Downes, Pablo Fornals, Maxwel Cornet, Danny Ings

Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Curtis Jones; Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota

Substitutes Caoimhin Kelleher; Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Fabio Carvalho, Thiago Alcantara, James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez
