West Ham got an initial bounce following David Moyes’ return to the club, but have since floundered with three defeats in four games.
They’ve won just one of their last nine home matches, conceding sixteen goals in that run.

What time is kick-off?
JURGEN KLOPP isn’t impressed with the amount of fixtures his side are having to play at the moment.

This Premier League game is set TONIGHT, January 29.
Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 7.45pm.
