Liverpool will look to start their EFL Cup campaign on a perfect note with a comprehensive victory when they host fellow Premier League side West Ham in the third round.
The Reds returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a convincing 3-0 victory over Bournemouth in their last match. Luis Diaz was once again the star of the show with his double.
On the other hand, West Ham came into this match off the back of a 3-0 defeat to local rivals Chelsea at home in their last Premier League game, meaning the Hammers are now winless in their last three matches .

Liverpool v West Ham Prediction
The EFL Cup has seen many upsets over the year, and results often don’t match the teams’ current form, particularly with many clubs fielding rotating teams.
However, even then, Liverpool should have no problem knocking out an out-of-form West Ham side and progressing to the fourth round of the League Cup.
