West Ham United take on Liverpool in the Carabao Cup third round at Anfield tonight.
Julen Lopetegui is under real pressure right now in his role as West Ham head coach, so the Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool represents a big chance for him to turn things around.
The Hammers sold out our 5,812 ticket allocation for the Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool last week – that really is tremendous support given the fact that our chances of winning the game are slim.
We all know how hard it is to get a result at Anfield, so every single player in Lopetegui’s starting XI will have to be 100 per cent on their games tonight.
We are definitely capable of winning the match – stranger things have happened, that’s for sure.
And the Liverpool players definitely won’t be underestimating us.
But how has Lopetegui decided to line up tonight?
West Ham starting XI vs Liverpool confirmed
Lopetegui has made seven changes from the team that lost 3-0 to Chelsea at the London Stadium on Saturday.
And as mentioned earlier, big performances will be required from every single one of them.
Here’s how West Ham line up for the Liverpool game tonight, as confirmed via the club’s official X account.
Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman, Aaron Cresswell, Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek, Carlos Soler, Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen, Danny Ings
On paper, that team should have enough about it to at least challenge Liverpool.
Anfield is a hugely intimidating place to go, so every single Hammer needs to stand up and be counted tonight.
Julen Lopetegui will surely be getting that message across to his players at this very minute.
I’m sorry to say, I can’t see us winning tonight, but it would be nice to see some big improvements from the shambles we witnessed against Chelsea on Saturday.
