Team News: Liverpool unchanged for West Ham United visit

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has named an unchanged team for the visit of West Ham United at Anfield this afternoon.

Rodgers has stuck to the same first XI that caused Arsenal a host of first-half problems in Monday's 0-0 draw at the Emirates.

Christian Benteke continues up front, with the likes of Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino providing wide support after impressing in North London.

Meanwhile, Hammers boss Slaven Bilic makes two changes as he looks to end a run of back-to-back defeats.

James Tomkins comes in at right-back to replace Carl Jenkinson from the 4-3 defeat to Bournemouth, while Manuel Lanzini displaces Kevin Nolan, who left the club this week.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Lovren, Gomez, Lucas, Can, Milner, Firmino, Coutinho, Benteke Subs: Bogdan, Moreno, Rossiter, Sakho, Ings, Ibe, Origi

West Ham United: Randolph; Tomkins, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Obiang, Kouyate, Lanzini, Noble, Payet; Sakho Subs: Oxford, Jarvis, Cullen, Spiegel, Samuelsen, Lee, Knoyle
