Liverpool vs West Ham Continental Cup: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction

Liverpool welcome West Ham to Prenton Park on Wednesday for their Continental Cup quarter-final clash.
West Ham topped their Conti Cup group ahead of Brighton to book their last-eight place, while Liverpool qualified as the best second-place team after finishing behind Man City.
With the Hammers seven points ahead of the Reds in the WSL table but Liverpool coming out on top in the league fixture between the pair in December, plus the added spice of former West Ham boss Matt Beard now being in charge of the Merseyside outfit, it promises to be an intriguing fixture.

Liverpool vs West Ham score prediction
Liverpool have picked up just one win in the WSL since their surprise opening day victory over Chelsea - against West Ham at Prenton Park in December. The Reds won three from four to qualify for the quarter-finals as the best second place team.
West Ham have enjoyed a strong first half of the season under new boss Paul Konchesky, but were comfortably beaten by Everton last time out after going toe to toe with Man City a week earlier. If West Ham are at their best, they should just edge it.
