Pellegrini "looking for solutions" after West Ham's defeat at Wolves
"I never celebrated that another team dropped points" - Klopp responds to Walker tweet
5 LIVE COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
@bbcjohnmurray: Liverpool haven't had too much trouble with West Ham over these past couple of years. Remarkably, the Reds have scored four goals in each of their last four matches against them.
And West Ham have just had a very bad week. I was expecting a positive reaction after the way they were dispatched from the FA Cup, with League One's bottom side AFC Wimbledon hitting four goals past them.
Instead, they lost by three goals at Wolves in midweek with their manager Manuel Pellegrini declaring that it was impossible for them to play worse.
They will simply have to be better against the Premier League leaders otherwise familiar old questions will resurface about just where this team is going.
VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT
West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini on the club's lack of activity in the January transfer window: "I am not frustrated. We didn't have any interest in bringing a new player here unless we sold one.
"We have a squad, we have some players with long injuries but we have other players.
"The only player we had interest in was Gary Medel [of Besiktas], they told us it was free and we were interested because he can play in two or three positions. But then it turned out the player was not free."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp on claims his side showed signs of nerves in their last game: "We do what we always do: we prepare ourselves and handle our situation our own way. We have no influence on the feelings and stuff from other people.
"It was always clear if you want to win something there will always be a bunch of people who hope you will win and another bunch of people who hope you will lose."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
If Hammers striker Marko Arnautovic was fit and firing then I would look at the game a little bit differently but if he is absent with his foot injury then I only see one outcome.
Prediction: 0-2

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
-
Liverpool have won their last four games against West Ham, winning two of those matches 4-0 and two of them 4-1.
The Reds are the second side in Premier League history to score four or more goals in four consecutive matches against a single opponent, after Tottenham against Stoke (from 2016 to 2017).
The last time an English top-flight side scored four or more goals in five successive games versus a particular club was from 1930 to 1933, when Arsenal did so in seven straight matches against Middlesbrough.
West Ham United
-
West Ham are looking to win three consecutive league and cup games at the London Stadium for the first time in what will be their 61st match at the venue.
They failed to register a single shot on target against Wolves - the last time that happened in a Premier League match was against Arsenal in December 2017.
The Hammers have scored 17 of their last 20 Premier League goals in the second half.
Manuel Pellegrini has suffered five Premier League defeats against Liverpool, more than versus any other club.
Pellegrini has lost all three of his previous managerial encounters with Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League.
Liverpool
-
The Reds have won just two of their last five games in league and cup (D1, L2), after winning the previous eight matches.
Only two teams have started February with a Premier League lead of five points or more and not won the title - Newcastle in 1995 and Arsenal in 2002.
Wednesday's draw with Leicester ended Liverpool's run of 17 consecutive league wins against sides from outside the established top six.
Mohamed Salah has scored four goals in three Premier League appearances against West Ham.
Salah needs two goals to reach 50 for Liverpool in the top flight.
This will be Salah's 61st league appearance for the Reds - the record for fewest games to reach 50 Premier League goals for a single club is held by Alan Shearer (66 matches for Blackburn).
