'We are not afraid of this match': West Ham's Vladimir Coufal hopes to take points from Anfield

"It’s a lot of work. We will go to Liverpool with some respect but we are not afraid of this match," new West Ham full-back Vladimir Coufal told his club's official website. "We would like to take some points from Anfield.

"It’s an iconic stadium in England and I look forward to it. It’s a nice experience and I hope we take some points from Liverpool."

The Hammers probably have a right to be bullish: they have not lost once in the last four Premier League games, a run that included a 4-0 win over Wolves and a 3-0 defeat of Leicester.

Still, they only had one win at Anfield in 57 years - and they certainly do not look like favourites to improve their record on Saturday.
