West Ham boss Moyes: Liverpool still in title race

West Ham boss David Moyes expects to face a fully committed Liverpool in today's early kickoff.

Moyes insists the Reds remain in the title race.

He said, "I find it difficult to accept that Liverpool are out of the [Premier League] title race.

"I would think that Liverpool are heavily in the title race. They had a bad result [losing 2-0 at Everton in midweek], but other teams have got to play big games, and they're under pressure to win the games.

"We saw a magnificent performance last night from Manchester City against Brighton, but I think Liverpool are right in there.

"I think they've done a really good job, Liverpool, in their league campaign this year, and maybe surprised a few people, but I don't think they've surprised me because I think that they're a football club who tend to be always challenging around winning things and competing at the top end.

"The Sunday two o'clock kick-offs have never been great, I have to say, so I'm hoping on a Saturday morning they're ready to go, just like the team need to be.

"We need to be ready to go on Saturday morning as well and hopefully the supporters are too."
