Liverpool vs West Ham Preview:
West Ham United are now sixth in the Premier League table and have been rather impressive this season. The Hammers defeated Backa Topola 3-1 in their previous encounter and will seek to repeat the feat this weekend.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is currently third in the league rankings and has stepped up to the plate in recent months. This week, the Merseyside outfit trounced LASK 3-1 and will be optimistic going into this encounter.
Liverpool Team News:
- The forced removal of full debutant Ryan Gravenberch marred Liverpool’s victory over LASK Linz. In the second half, he appeared particularly jaded as he made his way around the field’s perimeter. Klopp is hopeful that the Dutchman was just cramping.
- The game on Sunday is still expected to be too soon for Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) and Thiago Alcantara (hip) to make competitive returns.
- After making 11 changes for the Europa League, Klopp is anticipated to make a similar amount of changes for West Ham’s visit.
- Especially with Diaz and Nunez, who both had a goal and an assist and played the entire 90 minutes in Austria.
West Ham Team News:
- Edson Alvarez, the West Ham lynchpin, was absent from the victory over Backa Topola. He is set to return to the starting lineup right away.
- With Alvarez’s return, the West Ham treatment room would be nearly vacant. Aaron Cresswell left the game at halftime with a hamstring injury. Jarrod Bowen was out with a sickness and will need to be evaluated as well.
- Following Kudus’ spectacular role in the Europa League, Moyes is suffering from the best kind of selection headache in attack. It is possible that the Ghana international will be preferred over Soucek.
- Alphonse Areola, Vladimir Coufal, Kurt Zouma, Nayef Aguerd, and Emerson Palmieri all set to make their comebacks, while Danny Ings will make way for Michail Antonio at the back.
