A place in the fourth round of the EFL Cup is up for grabs today at Anfield as Liverpool host West Ham in this all-Premier League clash.

With nine triumphs in this tournament over the years, no team has won the EFL Cup more than Liverpool. The Reds have made a positive start to life under new manager Arne Slot, with four wins from their opening five English Premier League games, and could give Federico Chiesa his first start since signing from Juventus in the summer.

It's been a somewhat less steady start for the Hammers under their new boss Julen Lopetegui. The east Londoners have suffered three straight defeats at home in their opening fixtures under the Spaniard, but could welcome back striker Niclas Füllkrug from injury for this tie.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

This Carabao Cup third-round game between Liverpool vs. West Ham United takes place at Anfield on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. BST local time in the UK, which is 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT in the US, and 5 a.m. AEDT on Thursday, Sept. 26 in Australia.

Trying to choose between Paramount Plus Essential and Paramount Plus with Showtime plans? Essential is the cheaper of the two and is ad-supported. Paramount Plus with Showtime isn't completely ad-free but only displays commercials on "live TV and a few shows." If you want Showtime programming, the ability to download titles and your local live CBS station, you'll only get that with Paramount Plus with Showtime.

How to watch the Liverpool vs. West Ham online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch this match -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the Carabao Cup using a VPN

With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming this cup clash may vary.If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
