Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers: 'West Ham United will be tough'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is wary of West Ham United's threat but insists that his players are confident.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes that his side will face a "tough" clash against West Ham United when they go head to head at Upton Park on Sunday.

The Reds face the Hammers a week after the London side managed to secure a 3-1 win over Chelsea but Rodgers has insisted that his team are full of confidence.

"We know West Ham will be a tough game," Rodgers told the club's official website. "They got a fantastic result in their last game against Chelsea and [manager Sam Allardyce] has done very, very well in getting them promoted and he's made them very difficult to beat. We'll arrive at West Ham with great confidence. The nature of our game is getting better all the time."

The Merseyside outfit will be without striker Luis Suarez due to a suspension that was issued after the Uruguayan picked up his fourth yellow card of the season in the Reds' 1-0 win over Southampton last weekend.
