How to watch today's Liverpool vs West Ham Carabao Cup game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Facing off in the EFL Cup for the second straight season, Liverpool will take on West Ham United in a third-round showdown at Anfield on Wednesday, with the Reds starting their defense of the 2023-24 title.

Both Premier League teams enter the match after contrasting 3-0 results over the weekend—Liverpool cruised past Bournemouth, while Julen Lopetegui's side struggled, being overpowered by their London rivals Chelsea.

The Merseyside giants have quickly adjusted to life under new boss Slot—except for a surprising home defeat to Nottingham Forest two weeks ago—but they have bounced back flawlessly since then.

West Ham's travelling supporters might be excused for arriving at Anfield with more hope than confidence, though even hope may be running low among the Hammers, as Lopetegui's lacklustre side made headlines for all the wrong reasons over the weekend.

Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Team news & squads

Liverpool team news

In addition to the long-term absence of Harvey Elliott, who is sidelined with a foot fracture until at least the end of October, Liverpool had to manage without Alisson Becker in their win over Bournemouth. The Brazilian keeper aggravated an old muscle injury during their victory over Milan last week.

Alisson’s participation in Wednesday’s match is still uncertain, but Caoimhin Kelleher was expected to start in the EFL Cup regardless. He proved his worth with several key saves in the second half, helping secure the clean sheet.

West Ham's visit could also mark the first start for summer signing Federico Chiesa, likely stepping in for Mohamed Salah, who may be given a deserved rest. Joe Gomez, yet to feature in the Premier League this season, is expected to be part of a heavily rotated lineup.

Liverpool possible XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Morton; Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo; Jota

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Allison, Kelleher, Jaros
Defenders:Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Bradley
Midfielders:Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Gravenberch

West Ham team news

West Ham are also expected to make several changes following their poor showing against Chelsea. Manager Julen Lopetegui has just one injury concern, with Niclas Fullkrug likely sidelined again due to a lingering calf issue.

Lopetegui substituted Guido Rodriguez after just 38 minutes at the weekend, but this was a tactical decision, as the Argentine World Cup winner struggled to shield the defense effectively.

As a result, Tomas Soucek is expected to return to the starting lineup. Additionally, Carlos Soler, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Michail Antonio are likely to be handed starts for the Anfield clash. Veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, now 39, should also replace Alphonse Areola between the posts.

West Ham United possible XI: Fabianski; Coufal, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Soler, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Areola, Fabianski, Foderingham
Defenders:Cresswell, Zouma, Coufal, Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman, Aguerd, Wan-Bissaka, Palmieri
Midfielders:Ward-Prowse, Paqueta, Guilherme, Bowen, Rodriguez, Soucek, Irving
