Lanzini insists West Ham capable of upsetting Liverpool - again | OneFootball

West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini insists they're capable of upsetting Liverpool tomorrow.

Lanzini knows West Ham will need to produce a top-class performance if they are to defeat Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool for the second time this season, too, having edged a thrilling game 3-2 in the reverse fixture at London Stadium back in September.

“Of course, we have a team to play well in these kind of games, but we need to focus on our game," he observed.

“We know Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world at this moment, but I think we are confident in our form and our team and we are all focused on this."

West Ham kick-off the weekend fifth in the table with 45 points from 27 matches played – just three fewer than David Moyes' side collected on their way to finishing sixth last season.

While a repeat of a record 65-point haul will require a strong finish, The Jewel believes the east Londoners should be targeting European qualification for the second straight campaign.

“We need to take it step by step and we need to dream of this and of reaching the Champions League," he told the club's website. “We can achieve this, I think.

“We have a team for that and we're going to try and do this."
