West Ham United entertain Liverpool in the Premier League in Sunday's late kick-off.

The Hammers find themselves in 11th place and are surely now safe from relegation as they are 10 points clear of the drop zone. They have been in good form of late and won their last match away at struggling Sunderland on Monday night.

Liverpool are looking to make it nine league wins in a row and are aiming to return to the top of the table after Chelsea's win yesterday. Their hammering of Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield last weekend saw them go top and they will be looking to keep the momentum going as they try to secure the Premier League title.

West Ham have doubts over James Collins (calf) and George McCartney (hamstring), while Marco Borriello (hamstring) and Joey O'Brien (shoulder) miss out.

Liverpool are without Sebastian Coates (knee) and Jose Enrique (knee) for this match.
