Slaven Bilic’s future at West Ham United has been cast into doubt after that 5-1 shellacking at the hands of Arsenal last weekend. The Hammers will be hoping to avoid another heavy defeat.

After last year's success, is another Anfield away day victory on the cards?
45 mins: Two minutes extra will be played before Jurgen Klopp will be allowed to go full on mental in the dressing room.
45+2 mins: The Kop are appealing for a penalty, but Mark Clattenburg is signalling for a corner. Adam Lallana burst into the box and, under close attention from Aaron Cresswell, went to ground. They definitely would have got that in the 1980s.
45+3 mins: Joel Matip hits the crossbar! From the resulting corner, the Liverpool defender loops a header back across goal, only to see it clip back off the woodwork. It will be the last telling action of the first half.
SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: Liverpool find themselves behind at half-time in a Premier League home fixture for the first time since November 2009, and they have been forced into a change at the break too. Dejan Lovren is unable to continue and so Ragnar Klavan has been introduced to the action. West Ham, meanwhile, have ventured out of the bottom three as it stands; a crucial 45 minutes awaits.
48 mins: GOAL! LIVERPOOL 2 WEST HAM 2:
This will make Loris Karius feel much better, it's a clanger from his opposite number Darren Randolph. The West Ham goalkeeper made an awful mess in dealing with Sadio Mane's speculative chipped cross from the left, and when he spilt it, there was Divock Origi to mop up by poking home off the post. Three minutes gone in the second period, and it's all square!
50 mins: Liverpool tails are up, and Georginio Wijnaldum nearly bags a third after Mark Clattenburg had let play continue following a foul on Mane. The home side are buzzing as they attack the stand they usually face in the first halves of games. Could the Anfield Road End be the new Kop?
53 mins: A yellow card card for Roberto Firmino, who brings down Mark Noble after losing possession to the West Ham midfielder. The Liverpool forward has been strangely out of sorts ever since saying goodbye to his man bun.
59 mins: Ironic cheers aplenty as Darren Randolph claims a deep cross punted into the West Ham box - and then I remember that I've still got the television muted and those were my ironic cheers.
