Hello everyone and welcome to the Red Men TV.

It is the Uncensored Match Buildup. I'm Steve Hoare.

I'm joined by Ben and by Dan for this one and we're going to be looking ahead to Liverpool versus West Ham.

Sorry about being a little bit later on in the day in terms of why we've gone live with the buildup show.

We had the Champions League draw this morning and we had some other interviews and stuff going on this afternoon

They just find themselves there because they have such a dreadful start of the season. So it feels like we're getting them at the wrong time, is the right word. But it feels like they're a better team than 17th, if that makes sense. Oh, most definitely, yeah. And as you kind of referred to, their form is not reflective of a team in that position.

It's a little bit of a false position in a weird way, certainly since the turn of the year.

And they had a couple of bad results immediately of 2026 rolled in, but they've improved massively since then.

And they've given themselves a real fight a chance of staying up as well because it felt like
