The Hammers are just out of the relegation zone with a draw against a formidable Liverpool side which will help their cause in the long run. After a disappointing loss against Arsenal, the Hammers' result against Liverpool and Manchester United will please them.

Their upturn in form could also be attributed to key players finally returning from long term injuries and making themselves available.

The Hammer’s best player from last season, Dimitri Payet is slowly regaining his lost touch and the Frenchman scored his third goal of the season last night. He has to be at his best to take West Ham our of this mess starting with the midweek clash against Burnley.

Goalkeeper Darren Randolph committed a silly error in gifting Liverpool the second goal but bounced back with vigour as he saved a stunning strike from Jordan Henderson to keep the Hammers in the game.
