The chance to reach the last four of the Carabao Cup is at stake for Liverpool and West Ham as they meet in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Both sides are trying to campaign with hot competition in the top half of the Premier League, as well as the European knockout games on the horizon, so it could be a matter of squad rotation for both managers.
Still, the opportunity to secure a semi-final spot is an enticing one – especially for West Ham, who could potentially secure their return to European competition next year by lifting the trophy. With the Hammers eighth in the Premier League table, a guaranteed place in next year’s European Conference League could be valuable if they fail to meet the league qualification requirements and win the Europa League. Both look like big jobs right now.
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, meanwhile, may have to prioritize other competitions as they look ahead to the knockout stages of the Champions League, the Premier League title race and the FA Cup starting in early 2024.
Liverpool projected starting lineup (4-3-3):
Kelleher (GK) — Bradley, Gomez, Quansah, Chambers — C. Jones, Endo, Elliott — Gordon, Gakpo, Doak.
West Ham projected starting lineup (4-3-3):
Areola (GK) — Kehrer, Mavropanos, Aguerd, Emerson — Alvarez, Soucek — Kudus, Fornals, Benrahma — Ings.
What time does Liverpool vs West Ham kick off?
