Liverpool will look to extend their three-match winning run when they take on West Ham this afternoon. The Reds will face the struggling east London side at Anfield at 3pm.

Arne Slot's side sit in sixth in the Premier League table, on the same points as Chelsea , and will hope to leapfrog into the top four above rivals Manchester United . To do so, they need to win by four or more goals.

The Reds have put together a brilliant run of form in recent weeks with wins over Nottingham Forest and Sunderland .

An FA Cup victory against Brighton boosted their trophy hopes significantly and Slot hopes his side is ready for the season's run-in. Speaking ahead of the West Ham clash, he said: "The way I see it is that it’s another game for us and we’re not so focused on other teams.

"As all managers always say, we are mainly focused on ourselves and we know that we need to win a lot of games because our competitors for these Champions League places are very good teams as well, win a lot.

"So we know we have to win a lot as well, and that’s where our focus is on and not so much about points, gaps, all the difference. Although we are aware of the league table, that’s for sure."
