Liverpool face a visiting West Ham United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night as they continue their trophy defence after last season’s win. 

The Reds come off the back of a comfortable 3-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League where goals from Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez were able to seal the deal.

Arne Slot’s side sit second in the Premier League but will now turn their attention to the cup as they face a West Ham side who are winless in their last three games.

Harvey Elliot and Alisson have been ruled out of tonight’s game due to injury, but other than that Arne Slot has a full-strength squad to choose from. Click here to see our predicted XI for the game against West Ham.

Liverpool won the Carabao Cup last season in what was Jurgen Klopp’s final year at Anfield. They beat Chelsea 1-0 after extra time to win their record tenth EFL Cup title.

Arne Slot’s side backed to beat out-of-sorts West Ham

The Reds’ opponents have been poor in their last few games despite making several quality signings over the summer transfer window. Julian Lopetegui is under pressure as his side were expecting good things this season.

With that in mind, in form Liverpool is the heavy favourite going into the game with the home advantage. Oddchecker has the Reds at 4/11 to win, a West Ham win at 15/2 and a draw at 9/2.

We predict another easy win for Slot’s team with a comfortable 2-0 victory on Wednesday night.
