The ESPN cameras welcome an in-form Liverpool to Upton park in the early evening kick-off.
Liverpool are back in decent touch after a couple of early-season losses. Ex-hammer Yossi Benayoun is finally seeing regular first-team football, and has rewarded Benitez with a hat-trick.
We have been struggling following the opening day victory at Wolves, the performance against Wigan was particularly poor.
Hopefully Zola will mix it up today, and bring in Diamanti alongside Carlton Cole. It woudl be good to see Behrami and Illunga back in the team too.
