West Ham vs Liverpool: What has been said?

West Ham boss David Moyes: “We’re really pleased with the way the players are playing and the results we’ve had, and we want to keep that going as long as we can.

“We have an incredibly difficult challenge against Liverpool, the reigning champions, and they showed everybody they have found a bit of form in their win at Tottenham on Thursday.

“It’ll test us, but we want to be tested by the better teams. We want to challenge them and this will give us a good opportunity to see what we can do.

“I thought they were very good against Spurs. I don’t know if their form ever went away, just sometimes things don’t go for you.

“I think everybody is well aware of what Liverpool can do and how they can play. They’ve certainly proved that in recent seasons.”
