Fixture, everyone? http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/matches/2013-2014/epl.html/west-ham-vs-liverpool
Only in Orange on the ones on LFC website with Lucas, Kelly, Alberto & Toure. Suarez, Skrtel, Agger & Gerrard all in green.
Our team is obvious, just depends on Coutinho, Sterling and Allen. I think Rosgers will want to compact the midfield so we are up for the fight. Considering West Ham will want to work it wide and get crosses in, I would like to see Sterling start. He will help out Flannagan or Johnson, as will Henderson to the other.
Lawro's opinion. West Ham v Liverpool (16:00 BST) Pessimistic Liverpool fans might look at this game and think that ex-Reds Stewart Downing and Andy Carroll will be lying in wait, and so will West Ham boss Sam Allardyce. What will Rodgers do next? Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling and manager Brendan Rodgers In last week's win over Tottenham, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers picked the most attacking team he could. Beforehand I thought he would leave out Philippe Coutinho and play Raheem Sterling, or vice versa. He went with both of them. It was a big shout but Rodgers obviously thought that Liverpool could roll Spurs over, and they did. His team selection against West Ham will be interesting too. When you play at Upton Park, the crowd are on top of you and the pitch itself feels tiny. That in itself is something you have to adapt to, but West Ham will be doing their best to make the pitch seem even smaller. The Hammers got booed off against Hull then went and won at Sunderland and now they are targeting three wins in just over a week. The pressure is off Allardyce's men because they have got 37 points and they are absolutely safe. For this game, I can see Allardyce denying Liverpool space to play and looking to hit Carroll early with the ball, then trying to get bits and pieces around him from his knockdowns. At the moment against Liverpool, route one might be the way to go. Aston Villa did it at Anfield in January and could have had that game sewn up by half-time. This will be a much tougher task for Liverpool than last week's walk in the park against Tottenham. Even so, good teams find a way to win games and the way the Reds are at the moment, I am backing them to win this one. Lawro's prediction: 1-2
I'm a Hammer and I don't care about this game if im honest. We should have enough points by now and if we lose I don't mind as i'd much rather see Pool win the league than Chel$ki or Ci£y.
You ain't going down with 37pts, besides, with six games to go, I'm sure (not seen your fixtures mind) that you'll get at least another 6-7 points.. Just take it easy against us on Sunday
Can you let your team know please? Tricky tie this one is, not easy going to yours with Allardyce in charge
Well, my heart says we will lose but my head knows what a stubborn guy BFS is and he might be in the mood to set us up to try and strangle the game. I think that your attack is too good though so maybe we will just go out and actually give you a decent game, put on a show for the crowd, ultimately lose but at least it won't have been 90 minutes of choking the life out of the game which BFS is very very good at so do not underestimate him.
the Reds. Glen Johnson has scored in three of his last five Premier League games against former club West Ham, including the last two trips to the Boleyn Ground. Liverpool have won seven and lost just one of the last 10 Premier League games against West Ham. 71 points after 32 games is a Premier League high for Liverpool and only in 1987-88 have they accrued more in the three-points-for-a-win era (76). Liverpool have scored 88 goals this season, a record for any team after 32 matches of a Premier League season and have netted in their last 22 games since losing 0-2 away Arsenal
what would be NICE is that west ham would put on a classic for thier fans now they are safe... wouldn't it be nice for west ham to see a great passing game of football? Pity the fat lump will set his side out to lump it.
