Liverpool and West Ham face off in a scintillating EFL Cup quarter-final with both teams looking to book their place in the last-4.
Liverpool's hopes of retaining the top spot in the Premier League were squashed by Manchester United as a toothless draw at Anfield saw Arsenal leapfrog them at the summit. The Reds would still be eyeing to win the Carabao Cup as they are already challenging for the Europa League and the Premier League.
David Moyes' West Ham United dumped a high-flying Arsenal out of the competition and will be high on confidence despite struggling a little in the Premier League. Liverpool emerged victorious in the PL the last time the two sides met this season and the Hammers would be aiming to get revenge.
