Manuel Lanzini has warned Liverpool that he and his West Ham teammates are confident of causing an upset at Anfield tomorrow.
The Hammers travel to Merseyside to take on Liverpool for what is a hugely important game for both sides.

Jurgen Klopp has done a magnificent job since taking over at Anfield nearly seven years ago and has transformed Liverpool into one of the very best teams in world football.
Meanwhile, David Moyes has worked wonders at the London Stadium over the past two years and has established West Ham as a top six side.
The Hammers currently sit in fifth spot in the table, just two points adrift of fourth placed Manchester United whilst the Reds are in second position, six points behind league leaders Manchester City but with a game in hand.
The home side will be red-hot favourites tomorrow but the East London outfit will be no pushovers, that’s for sure.
Manuel Lanzini sends warning ahead of Liverpool vs West Ham at Anfield
The Hammers desperately need a result at Anfield tomorrow.
All of the teams in and around West Ham in the Premier League table still have games in hand over us, aside from Manchester United.
Facing a rampant Liverpool side will certainly not be a piece of cake.
But Lanzini sent a warning to the Reds ahead of tomorrow’s game, when speaking to WHUFC.com:
“Of course, we have a team to play well in these kind of games, but we need to focus on our game. We know Liverpool is one of the best teams in the world at this moment, but I think we are confident in our form and our team and we are all focused on this.”
Wednesday’s FA Cup defeat to Southampton may well have knocked the confidence of the West Ham players.
As long as all of the 11 players who Moyes selects tomorrow plays to their full potentials, however, we should be able to give Liverpool a real game.
A point would obviously be a fantastic result.
And in fairness, we often play better when we aren’t the favourites and are expected to lose. So who knows what might happen on Merseyside.
The game kicks off at Anfield at 5:30pm tomorrow evening and can be seen live and exclusive on Sky Sports.
