What they’re saying: Liverpool - West Ham
Trent Alexander-Arnold on playing without fans: “Obviously we miss the fans a lot. It’s something that we’ve had to try and adapt to but it’ll never feel normal – especially on a Champions League night, there’s always something special in the air. So we miss the fans a lot. Hopefully they were pleased watching from home and wherever they were watching from. We’re happy with the result and hopefully we’ll be able to progress and hopefully see them soon.
Jarrod Bowen on West Ham being in-form heading into Anfield: “I think we know how strong the Liverpool team is, but on the back of our performances against Tottenham and Man City, we feel we can take it and go there hoping to achieve as much as we can. We know they’re going to have a lot of the ball and try to hurt us in different ways, but as long as we defend well and stay compact, which we always need to do away from home and especially at Liverpool, we can give ourselves a great chance.”

Prediction: Liverpool - West Ham
They couldn’t, could they? West Ham’s remarkable run started with out-playing Arsenal in a loss, so this isn’t a fluke. But to take down Liverpool wouldn’t just be nice for old Everton boss Moyes, it would be a signal to the entire league that West Ham is for real. The Irons put a scare into Liverpool but lost 3-2 at Anfield last winter. Look for it to be nearly that this year. 3-1, Reds.
