Head-to-head
West Ham secured their first league double over Liverpool last season since 1963-64, scoring five goals without reply.
The Hammers' 3-0 victory at Anfield in August 2015 ended a run of 42 league visits without a win.
They scored as many goals in that game as they had in their previous 13 league fixtures at Anfield.
Liverpool
Liverpool's defeat against Bournemouth last weekend ended their 11-match unbeaten run in the league.
They have yet to lose successive Premier League matches under Jurgen Klopp.
The previous three Premier League games to involve Liverpool on a Sunday this campaign have all produced seven goals (21 in total).
Klopp's side have scored 13 league goals from set pieces this season, the most in the division prior to this weekend's matches.
Sadio Mane has scored 11 goals in his last 10 Premier League home appearances for Southampton and Liverpool.
West Ham United
West Ham are winless in their last five league games, losing three and drawing two.
The Hammers have conceded 29 goals in their opening 14 matches this season, their worst tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1988-89.
Slaven Bilic's team have made a league-high six individual errors leading to opposition goals in 2016-17.
They have scored an unrivalled 23 headed goals in the Premier League since Bilic became manager at the beginning of last season.

Klopp needs to address his blind spots in goal and at the back, lest his good work elsewhere go unrewarded.

Karius has cost us 3 points in the two games. That's not good.

Yes, people are going after Karius and for good reason, he's a complete pantomime in goal. Send him to a inner-city 5-a-side team for a few months and bring back Mignolet, while he's not a huge improvement we would have conceded at least three less goals over the last two games.. and won both of them.

Not good when drawing against a poor West Ham side. Klopp needs to make some changes not necessary in personnel but tactics as well.
He needs to move Firimino back to his position. Drop Origi to the bench. Of course drop Karius too. We need to shot from distance when playing teams parking the bus. We miss Coutinho in that sense. Henderson was unlucky with his shot which the keeper saved brilliantly. Wijnaldum used to do it with Newcastle.
Our bench today was full of kids but why not take the risk when things are not working for you.
I hope we get Sturridge back next week.

People need to remember this is our first bad home result of the season.
Utd the only other game we haven't won, and while they aren't great it's still a Derby against a top 6 side.
You can't win every game, but we need to find our feet again quickly or we will be too far behind.
Doesn't help when all our attacking depth is injured.

No malice intended here but thought West Ham were shocking

The lack of options on the bench to try and change things was telling. Injuries are not helping us and Klopp likely needs to bring in a wide forward in Jan if he can.

It is our first bad one at home but I think most were hoping we'd bounce back after last week.
Two bad ones in a row always feels worse.

Point is fair we didn't deserve to win the game What a great cross by Milner why is nobody charging in on the back post all just standing there. Everyone will be gunning for Karius blood. But people need to relax. Let Klopp do his thing. Wednesday game now is a must win. Hendo was awful today besides his shot his passing and set pieces was all over the place. Well we lost to West Ham last season so I guess it's an extra point 😂

Henderson has been poor in most of our games this season. It has been easy for him in most games to pass the ball around until it gets to Coutinho or Mane. When we lose our creativity Henderson's limited ability becomes so obvious

Yeah of course.
I am disappointed but relieved we didn't lose as felt we would at 2-1 down.
