Fixture: West Ham United vs Liverpool
Competition: FA Cup
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Liverpool have officially confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes for this evening's FA Cup replay against West Ham United at Upton Park.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who missed his side's 2-2 weekend draw against Sunderland through illness, chooses to hand a rare start to Christian Benteke in attack, while Philippe Coutinho is also named in the starting eleven following his return from injury. Jordon Ibe plays and will look to supply Benteke, while Joao Teixeira is given a chance to impress.




At the back, Tiago Illori will be bidding to make his mark, while Jon Flanagan is handed a start at right-back. On the bench, Klopp can turn to Daniel Sturridge and Divock Origi if needed this evening.

Liverpool's draw at home against Sunderland left the Reds sitting 12 points outside the top four, making Champions League football next term unlikely for Klopp's men and increasing the importance of their cup involvement.
