    GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VAN DIJK GIVES LIVERPOOL THEIR LEAD BACK!! The Dutch centre-back rises above anyone to head Mac Allister's free-kick past Areola, making amends for his error just minutes later. What Virgil takes, he gives back and Liverpool are back in front. 2-1!

    GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ROBERTSON TURNS INTO HIS OWN NET!!! Massive blunder in defence for Liverpool as the miscommunication between Van Dijk and Robertson gifts West Ham the equaliser. Wan-Bissaka’s left-foot cross falls just between Van Dijk and Robertson; the Dutchman tries to clear the ball, but he ends up volleying it onto Robertson, who deflects it past Alisson. 1-1!

    Second half is underwayyyyyyyy!
  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 1-0 West Ham United. The runaway Premier League leaders deservingly took the lead within the 20-minute mark through Luis Diaz. The Brazilian was picked out well by Salah after he stormed past Scarels down the right flank, slotting the ball in the back of the net from eight yards. The Hammers showed signs of life at Anfield, creating a few promising chances, especially with Kudus and Soler. But a couple of brilliant saves from Alisson Becker denied the visitors the equaliser.
  • 45'
    Clear chance for Mavropanos, who rose to head Ward-Prowse's cross without anyone else challenging him. Plenty of power, but the defender just couldn't bring it down towards the target.
  • 45'
    Corner for West Ham now, as one minute of added time is given.
  • 44'
    Jota gets a promising ball forward from Tsimikas. He protects it on the left-hand side of the box, but the flag is raised to signal the Portuguese's offside position.
  • 43'
    Kudus goes for an ambitious attempt from long range. Not bad, but also not on target.
  • 42'

  • 40'
    The Anfield crowd cheers for Bradley after he successfully stops Bowen from getting past him on the right.
  • 39'
    Shivers for Liverpool as Kudus had a golden chance to equalise from eight yards. Great ball from Bowen and another brilliant save from Alisson - but it wouldn't have counted as the striker was offside anyway.
  • 37'
    Salah almost made his way toward goal to shoot, but West Ham managed to nick the ball away from him at the last second. The newly renewed star has looked lively today.
  • 36'
    Foul from Todido, who gets in the way of Tsimikas' run down the left to bring him down. Liverpool take a short free-kick.
  • 33'
    Mac Allister with the chance to double! Could've been another assist for Salah, who cleverly lifted the ball for his Argentine teammate to volley it from wide of the near post. A great save from Areola denies the Reds.
  • 32'

    Liverpool are clearly dominating so far, but West Ham are showing that they come back into this at any moment.
  • 21'
    Massive double save from Alisson to deny West Ham the equaliser! Incredible from the Brazilian to first get down to save Soler's shot from close range, and then get up to flick Kudus' lobbed shot on the rebound onto the crossbar. Marvellous goalkeeper.
Goaaaaaal!

  • 18'
    GOALLLLLLLLLLLLL LUIS DIAZ FIRES LIVERPOOL AHEAD!!! All came from Salah's magic feet, who stormed past Scarles to run on the right flank before slipping the ball on the other end for Diaz. And the Brazilian just cannot miss from there. 1-0!
  • 17'
    Another chance for Liverpool, this time with Salah! The Egyptian gets past Kilman, as he cuts back inside to fire at the top corner, but it's just off target.
  • 14'
    Bradley's just fires wide! The right-back controlled the ball with his knee, bringing the ball down before hitting it first-time. Areola had his angles covered, as the ball rolls past the left post.
  • 12'
    Another foul from West Ham. This time from Todibo on Mac Allister, who goes down on the right flank.
  • 12'
    Gravenberch wins a free-kick on the right flank after he was brought down by Paqueta.

    Another important intervention from Kilman, who concedes another corner to the hosts.

  • PRVW
    We have the confirmed lineups for the clash!!! Let's see what they're saying, starting as always with the hosts...
  • PRVW
    West Ham's possible starting XI (3-4-2-1): Areola (GK); Mavropanos, Kilman, Todibo; Wan-Bissaka, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Emerson; Bowen, Kudus; Fullkrug.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool's possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Alisson (GK); Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's have a look at the possible lineups!
  • PRVW
    Fullkrug could feature alongside Jarrod Bowen, who scored in all three meetings with Liverpool last season, and Mohammed Kudus in a front three.
  • PRVW
    Niclas Fullkrug has been hampered by plenty of injury issues himself in what has turned out to be so far, a difficult debut season for the German striker, but he could start for the Hammers after scoring off the bench in last weekend's draw with Bournemouth.
  • PRVW
    Antonio will be spending some time on the sidelines after fracturing his leg in a near-fatal car crash, while Summerville, once a reported target for Liverpool, faces a race against time to play again this term.
  • PRVW
    As for West Ham, Lopetegui can breathe a sigh of relief with the injuries in his squad clearing up, but he remains without forwards Michail Antonio and Crysencio Summerville.
  • PRVW
    The Reds should nonetheless be covered at right-back after Conor Bradley returned against Fulham last time out. The defender is expected to start today at Anfield.
  • PRVW
    Elsewhere, Tyler Morton is close to making his comeback from a shoulder injury and could return to the matchday squad this weekend, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez remain missing in defence.
  • PRVW
    In terms of team news, Liverpool welcome first-choice goalkeeper Alisson back into the fold for the first time since the international break. The Brazilian suffered a head injury against Colombia, with Caoimhin Kelleher filling in his absence during Liverpool's last two games against Everton and Fulham.
  • PRVW
    The east London side have conceded ten in two meetings with Slot's side this season - admittedly under former head coach Julen Lopetegui - and have failed to win any of their past four Premier League games.
  • PRVW
    On the other hand, West Ham are looking to become only the fourth team to take points off Liverpool at Anfield this term but their recent form and record against the Reds suggest it might be an unsuccessful trip north.
  • PRVW
    Another recent piece of positive news in Merseyside was, without a doubt, Mohamed Salah's contract extension with Liverpool. The Egyptian penned a two-year deal to renew his stay at the club until 2027, with Virgil van Dijk also set to agree to similar terms in the following days.
  • PRVW
    If Liverpool beat West Ham, and if Arsenal lose at Ipswich on April 20, then Arne Slot's men will be crowned champions if they win at Leicester later the same day.
  • PRVW
    The Gunners stumbled again on Saturday, only managing to draw against Brentford after Partey's opener was cancelled out by Wissa's goal at the Emirates. As a result, Liverpool can go into today's fixture in a more relaxed mood.
  • PRVW
    Fulham struck three times in 14 first-half minutes to boost their own European ambitions with a 3-2 win last week, but the visitors were spared from any major worries following Arsenal's 1-1 draw at Everton.
  • PRVW
    The Reds suffered a rare defeat against Fulham last time out, only their second in the Premier League this term after the one at Forest earlier in the campaign.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool can go 13 points clear as they host West Ham at Anfield this afternoon, bringing them even closer to their record-equalling 20th English crown.
