Premier League clubs Liverpool and West Ham United face off in the third round of the Carabao Cup this week at Anfield. After a blip last weekend in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, Liverpool got back on track with wins in the UEFA Champions League and Premier League.

Liverpool have started the new season in brilliant form under their new manager Arne Slot who has managed to get the best out of everyone thus far.

After their latest come-from-behind victory over AC Milan in the Champions League, the Reds briefly stormed to the top of the pile in the Premier League thanks to their three-goal beating of Bournemouth, where Luis Diaz continued his blistering form with a brace before Darwin Nunez curled home a sublime third.

Liverpool return to action for a midweek Carabao Cup clash against Premier League foe West Ham United. The Reds managed a 3–0 win last time out at home against Bournemouth. Darwin Núñez scored for the first time in the 2024–25 campaign while Luis Díaz bagged a brace to lift Liverpool to second place in the Premier League table.

Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth that sent Arne Slot's side top of the table for 24 hours on Saturday.

As Liverpool U21s beat Derby U21s 3-1, Tyler Morton and Trey Nyoni both came off after an hour which could hint at their inclusion against West Ham in the League Cup. Goals: Morton 15′, Pilling 56′, Kone-Doherty 89′; Moloney 86′

Liverpool begin their defence of the Carabao Cup at home to West Ham this week. Last year’s success proved the final trophy under Jurgen Klopp after a youthful Reds side beat Chelsea at Wembley in memorable fashion.
