The story of the game in Opta stats...

Chance

Keita nudges a ball through for Origi, but he can't get a a proper connection under pressure and it bounces into the grasp of Fabianski.

Three minutes of added time to be played...

The ball breaks for Van Dijk inside the area but his attempted cross into the middle for Mane is claimed by the goalkeeper.

Chance

Another big opportunity for West Ham goes begging after the ball breaks for Noble inside the area, but he can only hoist over.

Shaqiri is about to enter the action for the Reds.

West Ham break at speed after Matip gave the ball away deep inside their half, but a promising opening comes to nothing for the Hammers inside the Liverpool box.

Another effort from Salah, who escapes in behind Rice on the corner of the area, but strikes well over the bar.

Lovely footwork from Salah to create a chance, but his final effort is plucked out of the air by Fabianski.

Real open feel to the game now as we creep past the hour...

Liverpool work an opening on the edge of the West Ham area, but Salah's attempt to place it is stopped by Fabianski.

Diop meets a corner with his head, but sends it well wide of Alisson's goal

The story of the first half, as told by Opta...

Chance

Mane meets Milner's in-swinging free-kick with a glancing header at the near post, but it's too close to Fabianski.

Chance

West Ham are causing plenty of problems from set-pieces tonight - and Rice really should have put them 2-1 in front, but he heads over - unmarked - from Anderson's ball.

Robertson's drilled ball across the face of the six-yard box can't pick out Firmino or Salah. Unlucky.

Chicharito springs Liverpool's offside trap at a free-kick and is found by Anderson's ball, but he can't divert the ball in the direction he wants to and the visitors manage to avert the danger.

Noble lashes a half-cleared free-kick back towards the Liverpool goal from outside the box, but it crashes into the crowd of grey shirts pushing out.

Chance

The Reds' first opportunity of the night comes the way of Firmino, who motors into the area from a deep position and shoots left-footed. Fabianski makes a stop for the Hammers.

Alisson needs to beat away a blast from Chicharito from 20 yards as the Hammers cause concern for the Reds again.

Another chance for the hosts sees Cresswell fizz a low drive just beyond the post from the edge of the area.

Low ball into the box from Robertson is clattered away by Diop.

Stoppage in play here - one of the referee's assistants requires a replacement flag after a particularly hearty waving of his previous one to signal Robertson was offside.

Chance

The game's first chance is a big one - and it falls the way of West Ham.

Chicharito steps inside Matip inside the box and clips an inch wide of the far post.

Noble's notes

West Ham captain Mark Noble has this to say of this evening's game, in the matchday programme...

"We know that we are going to have to match Liverpool in work-rate if we are to have a chance of getting any kind of result. That's the bare minimum.

"I do feel, though, that we have made a lot of progress since that first game of the season at Anfield where we lost 4-0.

"They are a fantastic team. With the energy and ability they have, particularly the front three, you can see why they are doing so well."

Did you know?

Jordan Henderson will make his 300th Premier League appearance should be play tonight.

To date, the skipper has represented the Reds 228 times in the top flight. 

We caught up with Xherdan Shaqiri at Melwood on Friday.

“We don’t want to look to the other clubs – we just look to ourselves,” the No.23 told us. “We take it game by game, try to win games, to be successful.

“We work hard every day and have fun together – that’s very important in training, to enjoy the time when we are working hard. Then we go into the game to try to win it, to try to produce good performances.”

Team news

Liverpool will welcome James Milner back from suspension at the London Stadium, but Trent Alexander-Arnold is unavailable due to a knee injury.

For West Ham, Samir Nasri is sidelined and Marko Arnautovic is a doubt, but Lukasz Fabianski and Aaron Cresswell are available.

Joe Gomez to undergo surgery

Liverpool announced this morning that Joe Gomez will undergo surgery in order to assist his recovery from a lower leg fracture sustained at Burnley in December.

No timescale will be placed on an expected return date for the defender, though it’s likely he will feature again this season.

Jürgen Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com: "It’s a blow for the boy and for us - because prior to the injury he was in such fantastic shape.

"But he is too valuable to take any risk with, both for our present and future, so we get this procedure done and he comes back when he’s ready.

"His attitude during this rehab has been outstanding but it just hasn’t healed as we’d have liked so we will make this intervention and then he will come back."

Gomez himself, meanwhile, said: "Obviously being out for longer than we’d first hoped for is hard to swallow but it’s part and parcel of the industry. It was an injury caused by an impact, like nearly all the injuries I’ve had in my career, so I know it’s just a case of when it’s fully healed I’m good to go again.

"The hardest part is not being able to help the team and contribute on the pitch at the moment, so it’s important I come back ready to go and this procedure will help with that. My only focus is getting back for Liverpool as soon as possible and I can promise the supporters I’ll be working hard every day to do that."
