Fixture: Liverpool vs West Ham United
Competition: FA Cup
Kick-off: 17:30 (UK time)
Liverpool have announced their team to lock horns with West Ham in the FA Cup at Anfield this afternoon.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has chosen to ring the changes with Joe Allen being handed the captain's armband and a big role in what is a side full of inexperience. Dejan Lovren slots into defence to add know-how ahead of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, while Nathaniel Clyne also lines up at the back.
Jordon Ibe is handed a start today, while Joao Teixeira is given another chance to impress. Up front, Klopp chooses Christian Benteke.
On the bench the German boss can turn to Jerome Sinclair if he needs to throw on another forward, while Tiago Ilori is a defensive option for Klopp if required.
