Nuno Espirito Santo will urge his West Ham United players to get something from the Liverpool game on Sunday.
He will have been impressed with the first-half display in the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, but must ensure the mistakes made in the second period cannot be repeated.
Liverpool, despite their poor form, will be the favourites for this one and Arne Slot desperately needs a win to get the critics off his back.

Nuno could deploy a back four against Liverpool
The capitulation in the second half of the game at the Vitality Stadium showed that a change of system is needed for the Hammers.

He was part of a back three that comprised Igor Julio and Jean-Clair Todibo, who were decent on the day.
With Konstantinos Mavropanos still recovering from his injury, it makes sense for Nuno to play a back four again with Julio and Todibo as his centre-backs.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is primarily known for his one-on-one defending, so having him in an orthodox full-back position rather than as a wing-back will be beneficial to the team.

Against Liverpool, the Hammers will be spending a lot of time without the ball, so having another body in the middle of the park will be beneficial.

He will offer physical presence in midfield and can also be a creative option on the counter-attack.
