Redknapp: Wan-Bissaka looks set for man-marking job on Salah

"He's a great one-on-one defender. It makes total sense. 

"If Emerson played against Salah it would be chaos, too much. Defensively that's not his strength. He can play higher up the pitch."

West Ham warming up in a back four...

Back four? Back five? Quite how West Ham will set up today remains a mystery!  

Slot: West Ham set-up a surprise

Liverpool boss Arne Slot: 

"It's a bit of a surprise West Ham start with a five but this is something we have talked about with the players beforehand."

Expect more Liverpool goals in east London?

Liverpool have scored at least twice in seven of their last eight Premier League away games against West Ham, including in each of the last five in a row.

Red hot Salah to hurt West Ham again?

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has been involved in 27 goals in 17 Premier League games this season (16 goals, 11 assists), just one fewer than he was in 32 appearances last term (18 goals, 10 assists).

And against West Ham...

Salah has been involved in 15 goals in 16 appearances against West Ham in all competitions (12 goals, 3 assists), including seven in seven against them at the London Stadium (5 goals, 2 assists).

When these sides last met...

This will be the second time West Ham and Liverpool have met this season, after the Reds won 5-1 in the Carabao Cup in September...
