Before you lock in your West Ham vs. Liverpool picks or EFL Cup predictions, you NEED to see what SportsLine's soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's Men's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+2.75 units), the FA Cup (+3.07), the EFL Cup (+2.42) and Euro 2024 qualifiers (+6.30), among others.

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 expert also is aware that West Ham made a quick exit in the 2022-23 EFL Cup, losing to Blackburn Rovers on penalty kicks in the third round. 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.
