Another important home game for LFC.
Transcript
00:00 Looking ahead to Liverpool's next Premier League game, West Ham are home.
00:04 West Ham have made a very good start to the league this season, three wins already for them.
00:09 What do you expect going into that game?
00:12 Is there going to be a fresh Liverpool squad?
00:14 Is it looking good going into that game for them?
00:16 Yeah, well, Michael Antonio will certainly give JĂĽrgen Klopp his pre-match team talk,
00:23 by saying I think they'll finish ahead of them.
00:25 You need to pin it on the wall and just read that out and there you go, let's see if they can do it.
00:31 West Ham have made a good start, I've been impressed by their recruitment.
00:35 Celent Echelon-Reichsburg getting in some top quality players,
00:39 Shane Ford-Proust has made a real impact there and Fair Play have always liked him as a player.
00:45 Maybe he's been pigeonholed as just a set-piece taker,
00:49 but I think he's shown he's just more than that in a better team, to be quite frank.
00:55 I think it'll be interesting to see what, as we speak, Liverpool play in the Europa League.
01:02 He's last gone on Thursday, it'll be interesting to see what size his fields are there,
01:07 I can see changes being made and that gives JĂĽrgen Klopp eight days for his squad to freshen up.
01:16 Sir Boz Slagherby, Reston McAllister certainly will have a good rest in him, he'll need it.
01:21 Mo Salah, you would think. Virgil van Dijk will be back.
01:25 Kanate, you might get a game under his belt in the Europa League and that'll maybe see him return.
01:30 Trent Alexander-Arnold, if he's back from his hamstring injury, will be a big boost for Liverpool.
01:36 But obviously Liverpool, they have looked a little bit vulnerable at times,
01:41 we've seen that at Walls in the first half.
01:42 They were very, very lucky to get in just a goal behind, to be quite frank.
01:48 West Ham have a lot of attacking potency, with Jadon Bowen being the main one,
01:55 but Antoine Oconcord has problems, and Ward-Prouse and Kuzosu's come in, there's a lot there.
02:02 But Kenya, I can't pronounce his name, sorry, but he's the one who nearly went to Manchester City.
02:11 But I think if Liverpool get three points there, I don't want to say it's a statement,
02:17 but it's the beaten teams that have designs on Europe themselves.
02:25 Man City will have designs on finishing the top seven this season.
02:28 So if you beat them, and if you beat them fairly comfortably,
02:34 then you look at anything other teams are going to be looking at,
02:36 I'm thinking, well, Man City, all right, they were away and they had to come behind,
02:41 but Man City toiled a little bit against West Ham,
02:44 and Liverpool, when they put them to the sword there quite easily,
02:48 what could they do this season?
02:49 But yeah, as I say, it'd be interesting to see the side that Jadon Cox named in Europe,
02:54 and then West Ham, but it's a tough game.
02:57 It's a cliche in every Premier League game, it's a tough game,
03:00 but I think if Liverpool get the job done, then it's, what, six wins in seven.
03:06 Or five wins in six, I beg your pardon.
03:08 And looking back on that draw, it means Chelsea decides the season,
03:13 and that was an opportunity missed there, wasn't it, Liverpool?
03:16 She's a one-all the games, but you can't really think like that.
03:19 But yeah, I think it'll be a good game,
03:21 be interesting to see how Liverpool respond from the Thursday fixture.
