West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce feels they can take advantage of Liverpool's Champions League commitments in midweek.
Allardyce is ready to exploit any European hangover they may have after their first outing in the competition under manager Brendan Rodgers.
"On past history of playing teams after they've played in Europe, and having taken Bolton into Europe I know how hard it can be," he said.
"Brendan has assembled a big squad, whether he plays the same team on Saturday that played on Tuesday is something we have to try and predict. If we can seek out any advantage we will do, from our part we'll concentrate on things within our power and that is making sure we play well to the best of our abilities.
"I don't think their team is far from last year's. Brendan has the same problem as us, settling in a lot of new players. His players will take time to integrate, the same as ours. It can't be done overnight as everyone expects it to be. As the season goes on, we should get stronger and stronger, and I'm sure they will too."
