| PREVIEW |
Only once before have the Reds lost two league games on the spin under Brendan Rodgers, at that was over the festive period with two 2-1 defeats away to both Manchester City and Chelsea.
West Ham earned a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw at Hull on Monday, however boss Sam Allardyce is hoping for a first clean sheet of the season as the Hammers look to build on the 14 clean sheets they kept last season.
Liverpool have enjoyed this fixture over the years, claiming 16 wins in the last 22 league encounters against West Ham, with the London club winning just two.
Last season's corresponding match was a crucial one in Liverpool's bid for the title - after a first half penalty from Steven Gerrard was cancelled out just before the break, the Reds were handed a second penalty which the skipper dispatched to win a match that was steeped in controversy.
