Liverpool have recently recovered well from their defeat against Nottingham Forest and celebrated victories against Milan and Bournemouth. With home advantage behind them, they will naturally want to continue their winning streak. West Ham, on the other hand, have not won in three games and are hoping to turn things around in the cup. However, they have lost all of their matches against top teams so far this season.

The Reds are in 2nd place in the Premier League and currently have the best defense in the league, having conceded just one goal in five games. The team has hardly any injury problems and also celebrated a successful debut in the Champions League. West Ham, on the other hand, have yet to really find their feet this season and the pressure is already mounting on manager Julen Lopetegui. With just one win from five games, they will be hoping for a turnaround in the Carabao Cup. The AI tip is still: Liverpool win.

Liverpool is back on the road to success
The Reds will be extremely pleased with their start to the season under manager Arne Slot, after all they are just one point behind Manchester City in second place in the Premier League and in the Champions League they won 3-1 at AC Milan on matchday 1. The only slip-up occurred on matchday 4 when they were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest at Anfield Road. However, after the last few games, this can really be described as a slip-up. It was also the only goal Liverpool have conceded in the Premier League this year. With a goal difference of 10:1, they are actually number 1 in the league. The team has scored 2 or more goals in 5 of their 6 competitive games so far. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz in particular are in top form early in the season and have already scored 8 goals between them.

The Reds may rotate a little
With 23 games in the squad, it is not particularly wide, but the coach still has options to rotate. Apart from Harvey Elliott, all players are available. It's quite possible that players like Jarell Quansah, Curtis Jones or Federico Chiesa will get a chance to prove themselves. Since there was hardly any rotation in the first 4 matchdays in the Premier League. Alisson is still questionable in goal, so Caoimhin Kelleher will probably be used again.
Liverpool FC
System: 4-2-3-1.
West Ham have so far fallen short of their own expectations
The Hammers started the season with high expectations. After all, the club invested heavily in new players in the summer and also signed a new coach in Julen Lopetegui. The fixture list has probably been one of the toughest so far, but they were probably expecting more than 4 points after 5 games. Their only win came away at Crystal Palace on matchday 2. The top games against Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea were all lost and they conceded a total of 8 goals in the process. In between, they at least drew 1-1 at Fulham FC. So far, all points have been scored away from home. However, both the 5 goals scored and the 9 goals conceded are poor figures.

West Ham meet Liverpool again in the Carabao Cup
West Ham already met Liverpool FC in the Carabao Cup last season, but only in the quarter-finals. However, the Hammers conceded a clear 1:5 home defeat. It would therefore be time for a little revenge. However, West Ham have not won any of their last 6 matches against Liverpool. They were beaten 5 times in a row before they drew 2-2 at home on matchday 35 last season. Their last win came in November 2021.

Liverpool will win - Our prediction
Apart from one slip-up, the Reds have been in absolute top form so far. They have only conceded one goal in the league so far and had no problems whatsoever against AC Milan in the Champions League. They are the clear favorites to win against the in-form Hammers. However, there could be a slight rotation, which is why the defense may not be as solid as in previous games. We therefore also expect more than 2.5 goals in the game.
