- Liverpool enter the match on their worst run since 1953 with nine defeats in 12 and six losses in their last seven league games, leaving them in the bottom half.
- Darren England is the referee for the London Stadium fixture, a notable appointment given his role in the 2023 VAR error that wrongly ruled out a Luis Díaz goal.
- Kick-off is at 14:05 GMT with live coverage on Sky Sports Main Event, following build-up from 1pm.
- Arne Slot said Alisson Becker and Florian Wirtz could be available, while Hugo Ekitike is a late decision after a back issue in midweek.
- West Ham have improved under Nuno Espírito Santo, taking seven points from their last three games to lift confidence ahead of hosting the champions.
