David Moyes’ charges had won four games in a row prior to their 1-1 draw with Southampton at the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Reds followed up their 7-1 Champions League thrashing of Rangers with a 1-0 win over Manchester City.
With Liverpool finally clicking after two months of hit-and-miss form, West Ham will need to work hard against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
‘Liverpool are a really good team’
Speaking ahead of West Ham’s trip to Anfield, Moyes claimed that “everybody is quite aware” the Reds will be in the upper echelons of the league.
“I hope Liverpool’s last two results against Rangers and Manchester City aren’t a turning point for them,” joked Moyes, in conversation with the West Ham media team.
“But, I don’t think anybody feels Liverpool are going to be close to the bottom end of the table, everybody is quite aware they’re going to be close to the top end of the league.
“So, Liverpool are a really good team. I’d like to think there are similarities between the teams in that we’ve started a little bit slowly this season and they have as well.
“Liverpool were in every cup final last season, we had a record number of games and I think that in a way has probably has not helped us at the start of the season.
“Hopefully we’re both beginning to find a little bit of form now.”
