Liverpool have to be opposed here after their mentally and physically draining extra time defeat to Chelsea in the week.
West Ham, with Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing bang in form and both with a point to prove against their former club, should cause the shaky Liverpool defence and their zonal marking system plenty of problems at set pieces.
Liverpool have won just one of their last seven home matches in all competitions and have won 3, drawn 5 and lost 2 of their last 10 Premier League home fixtures.
