West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is confident his his side can chalk up a third victory of the season over Liverpool on Saturday.
The Hammers, who travel to Anfield for the FA Cup fourth round tie, have already completed their first league double over their rivals since 1964, having scored five goals and conceded none.
Despite the victories, Bilic admits an away trip to Liverpool was not the draw he was looking for after they booked their place in the hat with a 1-0 win over Wolves in round three.
"I was not happy with the draw," he said. "We were on the coach to Bournemouth when we heard, and I didn't think 'yes, we've beaten them twice'. I thought 'it's Liverpool'.
"It is one of the most difficult games we could have got. But we are confident, we beat them twice and have the recent memory of beating them, and we know what to do in the game to have a chance of beating them again.
"We are very ambitious for the FA Cup and we are looking forward to the game."
Liverpool fielded a team of youngsters as they scraped through their third-round tie against League Two Exeter after a replay.
And Jurgen Klopp's side also had a gruelling 120-minute battle with Stoke on Tuesday night, which they won on penalties to reach the Capital One Cup final.
But Bilic does not feel the Reds' midweek exertions will hand his side an advantage.
"We will put a very, very strong team out but we will make some changes. Some of the guys who played in the last cup game against Wolves will play again," he said.
"We are going to do everything we can to beat them. Losing would be a blow but it wouldn't be a shock - it is Liverpool at home. So make no mistake, we are approaching the game full of respect for them. But we are confident and we are hungry to progress in the FA Cup."
