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. The Reds claimed three points in the new Champions League format with a 3-1 comeback victory over AC Milan at the San Siro despite an early goal from USMNT star Christian Pulisic.
Arne Slot's team pickup three more points in league action at home with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Bournemouth. Luis Díaz bagged a first-half brace while Darwin Núñez got in on the action to score his first goal of the season.
Like Slot with Liverpool, West Ham is also under new guidance on the touchline with first-year boss Julen Lopetegui. The Hammers haven't won in their last three league games.
The team's last win came back on Aug. 28 in the second round of the Carabao Cup. West Ham picked up a 1-0 win over Bournemouth with Jarrod Bowen firing his side in front late on to help the team secure its place in the next round.
