This is the Behind Enemy Lines podcast on the Blood Red channel, bringing you the

inside track on Liverpool FC's next opponents.

Hello is Paul We Lock and welcome to the Behind Enemy Lines podcast on the Blood Red channel.

Liverpool got very much back on track on Thursday nights with that impressive victory at Tottenham

Hotch Bear, but they make the return trip to London today for what could be an even tougher test of their title credentials and their ridiculously injury hit defence.

And that's because West Ham United go into today's game on the back of six straight wins in all competitions.

Four of those have come in the Premier League, which means they just sit two points behind at

Liverpool and fifth. So to get the inside track on the remarkable revival David Mois is

inspiring at the London Stadium I picked up the phone to Tom Clark who is the new

Westhand reporter for the football dot London website. We also spoke about Declan Rice,

Thomas Suuchek, whose late runs into the box remind Tom of Assertin Stephen Gerard,

and about East of the

up, who is one of the centrebacks being linked to Liverpool before the transfer window closes at 11 PM UK time on Monday.

Hope you enjoy our chat and we'll be back after the match with the Blood Red Channel.

Well, hi Tom, thank you very much for joining me on this podcast to talk all things West Ham United.

Oh, it's a, you know, the absolute pleasure to be here.

Yeah, it is.

First time I've actually spoken to you on the phone, mate, for one of our podcasts because recently

you were appointed the West Ham writer for the football dot London website

congratulations I spoke to your predecessor Sam Incasol over the past few seasons

before Liverpool matches and every time I spoke to me it felt like if West Ham were in

some kind of a crisis but that's definitely not the case now.
