The Reds welcomed the biggest crowd of the Premier League era to Anfield on Sunday, however supporters left disappointed after a frustrating 0-0 draw with Manchester United. Liverpool are the odds-on favourites to progress to the last-four of the League Cup on Tuesday, priced at 1/4 to do so. For those who fancy Klopp’s side to go all the way and lift the trophy in February, 7/4 is available with Liverpool the current favourites in the outright market before the quarter-finals.
West Ham made light work of beating Wolves on Sunday at the London Stadium coming out 3-0 winners. That victory propelled The Hammers to eighth in the table, just one point behind Manchester United and two behind Newcastle.

Liverpool vs West Ham Tips
Plenty of changes are expected from both sides ahead of a hectic festive schedule but one player who should start the game for the hosts is Harvey Elliott. It’s the shots on target market where we are backing the 20-year-old and have taken a bit of the 11/10 that is available with bet365 for him to register Over 0.5 Shots on Target.
Elliott has recorded at least one shot on target in his last three appearances for the club and across his 9 starts this season he is averaging a healthy 2.2 shots per game. This bet has landed in 56% of his starts this season and with odds of 11/10 implying only a 47% chance of success, we make this a value pick. William Hill have this same bet priced at just 8/13, so take the much juicer offering that is available with bet365.
At 80/1 we’ve also had a bit of loose change on Cody Gakpo and Danny Ings to score, along with Wataru Endo to be carded.
The break from the Premier League provides both teams with the chance to leave everything on the field on Thursday and we could well be in for an end-to-end high scoring contest. The first of two goalscorers we are siding with is Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman has scored in both of his League Cup appearances this season and let off 10 shots across those fixtures.
Next up it’s Danny Ings who should be given a run out from the off, with Jarrod Bowen is given well deserved rest. The former Red is yet to find the net this season, but with an open game expected, he can find joy against a second-string Liverpool defence.
Rounding off this 80/1 longshot is Wataru Endo to be carded. The Japanese midfielder has collected five yellows for Liverpool this season, with three in the Premier League, one in the Europa League and another in the League Cup. Bet365 are best-price on him being carded and combining him with Gakpo and Ings to score pays 80/1.
