West Ham United - Liverpool live updates

The teams are in the tunnel and making their way out onto the pitch. There will be a winner to face Blackburn Rovers tonight, even if it takes extra time and penalties. Which I think it might…

TEN MINUTES TO KICK-OFF: West Ham have lost just one of their last 10 FA Cup games at home (W5 D4) - a 2-1 defeat by Arsenal in January 2010. But the Reds are unbeaten in five away FA Cup games (W4 D1), but the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace last year ended a run of three defeats away to Premier League sides in the competition.

Slaven Bilic: "They are a big club. They've had ups and downs this season but make no mistake, whenever a team is facing them, you have to have a complete game. You can't give them time and space because they will harm you, they have quality. We have to be good, brave, direct and skilful, which we showed in two out of the three games we played against them."

STAT: West Ham are yet to beat Liverpool in seven FA Cup meetings (D3 L4), with the most recent encounter prior to the 0-0 draw at Anfield coming in the 2006 final, when the Reds won on penalties after a 3-3 draw.

Jurgen Klopp: "I feel good and I am back in the race. I figured if I feel bad I should stay at home but I feel good and I am thankful for our doctor, because he said we should go to hospital - I was not too sure. The surgeon was great, a season ticket holder who told me we both didn't want to see the game. I had the best nurses and everything was OK. I feel really good so that is the only reason why I am here. If I'm not fit then I cannot help here and I would be at home."

Slaven Bilic (via BBC): "We've played Liverpool many times this season, twice recently with different line-ups. We played their strongest team and then a team with five or six regular starters, so we are well prepared for whatever team they come with."

James Tomkins misses out for West Ham with a calf injury but Joey O'Brien makes his first start since July at right-back because new signing Sam Byram is cup-tied and Carl Jenkinson is out for the season.

So not many surprises in either line-up tonight, possibly with the exceptions of Carroll, Sturridge and Henderson on either bench. Oh, and Coutinho returning to Liverpool's starting XI after over a month out.

And here's how the Hammers line-up...
