Liverpool will be determined to bounce back from their disappointing Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid when they welcome West Ham to Anfield on Monday.
Jurgen Klopp’s men went down 1-0 at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano, their first loss in 15 matches in all competitions.

However, they are clear 1/6 (1.17) favourites with bet365 to equal Manchester City’s top-flight record of 18 consecutive league matches by coming out on top here.
The Hammers have taken just two points from the last available 18, but can be backed at 14/1 (15.00) to pull off a shock win against the leaders, or 7/1 (8.00) to claim a creditable draw.
Liverpool vs West Ham Team News
Jordan Henderson has been ruled out for three weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in Madrid, joining Nathaniel Clyne and Xherdan Shaqiri on the sidelines.

Liverpool vs West Ham Preview
Not including the Carabao Cup defeat to Aston Villa when they fielded the under-23 team, last week’s defeat in the Spanish capital saw the Reds fail to score for just the second time in 42 games this season.
However, they have not been in particularly prolific form of late, scoring just 19 times in 12 fixtures and failing to strike more than twice in 11 of those games.
Having praised his side for their defensive resilience in last month’s 2-0 defeat in the reverse encounter, David Moyes is sure to set them up equally conservatively in an attempt to frustrate the home team.
