They suffered a disappointing 4-1 defeat at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League, putting Slot's position under pressure.

However, they were able to fight and get a 2-0 victory over the Hammers, ending their losing streak.

As it happened

Nuno Espirito Santo made three changes to the West Ham side that drew with Bournemouth, as reported by the BBC.

Arne Slot made two changes to the Liverpool side, who were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest last Saturday. Florian Wirtz replaced Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones was replaced by Joe Gomez.

Both teams started the game very cautiously and could not create a lot of chances to open the scoring in the first half.

Cody Gakpo then sealed the win in injury time, after beating the Hammers' goalkeeper Alphonse Areola from close range.
