Liverpool vs West Ham United as it happened - final score, Jurgen Klopp reaction, semi-final draw
Welcome to our live match blog as Liverpool host West Ham United at Anfield tonight in the final Carabao Cup quarter-final.
After a 0-0 draw at home to Manchester United on Sunday saw the Reds miss the chance to go back to top spot in the Premier League, they now turn their attention to the pursuit of the first domestic silverware of the season.
Standing in their way of a potential semi-final showdown with Chelsea, Fulham or Middlesbrough are West Ham, who went down 3-1 to the Reds when they met in the league on Merseyside back in September. Jurgen Klopp will certainly be hoping for a repeat of that outcome this evening.
But the Liverpool boss is likely to have a stretched squad for the last-eight showdown with the Hammers, with eight players set to miss out. However, with a place in the last four tantalisingly close, Klopp will surely go as strong as he can, even if a top-of-the-table encounter at home to Arsenal awaits on Saturday.
And you will be able to follow all the action tonight right here with our live blog, with updates from Anfield being provided by our writers Ian Doyle, Paul Gorst and Theo Squires, and Tom Cavilla back at ECHO HQ. We'll have also have all the best post-match reaction and analysis. And hopefully, who exactly the Reds will be playing in the semi-finals.
