Michail Antonio has expressed his respect for Liverpool centre-back Joe Gomez ahead of West Ham United's visit to Anfield on Wednesday evening.
Having endured a horror display against Napoli in the Champions League last month, the Reds defender made amends against Manchester City with an imperious performance that helped Jurgen Klopp's team secure a huge 1-0 victory against their modern title rivals.
The domestic cup holders will be looking to back that result up tonight with a win against David Moyes' Hammers and forward Antonio will need to be at his very best to get any change out of Virgil van Dijk and Gomez, who has quickly put his name back into contention for England's World Cup squad.
