Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Liverpool's trip to West Ham in the Premier League. This rescheduled encounter, due to Liverpool's commitments in the World Club Cup, pits the league leaders against a West Ham side in disarray, on and off the pitch, with ill-feeling towards the club's owners as bitter as ever. Victory for Liverpool, though, will move them 19 (NINETEEN) points clear at the top of the table. I'm Pete Hall, and I will be bringing you the action, as it happens, live!

FT: West Ham 0-2 Liverpool. As routine a win as you like for Liverpool. A goal in each half, at a pace that barely would have broken even a bead of sweat. 19 points clear, eight more wins, and they are champions. It is a matter of when, and how many points they will get. Thanks for joining us. Goodnight.
Liverpool just counting the passes here. West Ham waiting for the whistle.
Three minutes of added time here.
Game very much petering out now, and all you can hear is the travelling Liverpool fans.
Change for Liverpool as Oxlade-Chamberlain is replaced by Curtis Jones.
SAVE! Another super cross from Snodgrass, Rices gets up, heads for goal, but Alisson springs to his right to make a smart save.
Free-kick to West Ham. You feel they have to score from this...
Firmino does well to win the ball back, feeds Keita, who smashes for goal, but Fabianski gets everything behind it.
The Hammers have given up the ghost here. They are happy to keep the score down.
POST! Liverpool's turn to hit the woodwork, with Salah's brilliant curling effort clipping the outside of the post and going behind for a goal kick.
Another change for Liverpool as Naby Keita replaces Alexander-Arnold.
Lovely football from Liverpool, Salah is picked out in the middle, but his header rolls well wide.
POST! Almost a comical own goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold. Declan Rice did well to dart through the middle, fire for goal, which Alisson beat away, Alexander-Arnold tried to hook the ball clear, but inadvertently sliced onto his own post, before Liverpool do clear.
Welcome sight for Liverpool fans as Fabinho replaces Origi.
Cheers from the home side as Pablo Fornals replaces Lanzini.
SAVE! Origi pulls wide, gets the ball out of his feet, drills low for goal, but Fabianski flings himself across to make the save.
All the possession back with Liverpool now, as they remain in firm control.
Masuaku does really well to get to the byline, but his pullback is cut out.
It really was...
Lovely football from Liverpool but Oxlade-Chamberlain, at the last, just misses his target with the backheel.
