Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Liverpool's trip to West Ham in the Premier League. This rescheduled encounter, due to Liverpool's commitments in the World Club Cup, pits the league leaders against a West Ham side in disarray, on and off the pitch, with ill-feeling towards the club's owners as bitter as ever. Victory for Liverpool, though, will move them 19 (NINETEEN) points clear at the top of the table. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

MANE MISSING, NGAKIA DEBUTS: There is just one enforced change to the Liverpool team that beat Wolves in their last league outing, with Sadio Mane missing through injury, Divock Origi the man to come in. There is a surprise in the Hammers starting XI though as 19-year-old forward Jeremy Ngakia, who didn't get off the bench during West Ham's FA Cup defeat to West Brom at the weekend, makes his senior debut. Also, Lukasz Fabianski is back in goal in place of Darren Randolph
