Liverpool enters the third round of the EFL Cup planning on making a good start as they host fellow top-tier side West Ham. The Reds will be in this match coming from the last 3-0 Premier League’s victory over Bournemouth and where Luis Diaz was the standout performer with two goals.
West Ham, on the other hand, heads into this encounter after a 3-0 home loss to Chelsea in the last fixture to see their Premier League, unbeaten streak end at three matches.
