Green knows that after having their hopes of repeating as EFL Cup champion squashed by Manchester City in the fourth round last year, Liverpool began the 2023-24 competition with a 3-1 triumph over Leicester City. The Reds followed with a 2-1 victory against Bournemouth as striker Darwin Nunez converted in the 70th minute to snap a deadlock. Forward Cody Gakpo scored in both of those contests and is looking to end a five-game drought across all competitions that has followed his brace in a group-stage victory versus LASK Linz in the Europa League on Nov. 30.

The Hammers avoided going to a shootout in their opening match this time around, as midfielder Tomas Soucek converted in the 70th minute to lead the team to a 1-0 triumph over Lincoln City. West Ham nearly posted a clean sheet in their win against Arsenal, allowing a goal in extra time, and enters this matchup having kept their opponents off the scoreboard in each of their last two overall contests.
