Team News
Diogo Jota‘s calf injury forced him to be stretchered off during injury time, dealing Liverpool a severe setback in the closing minutes of their victory over Man City. Early signs suggest that the 25-year-old may be in a battle against time to be ready for Portugal’s World Cup appearance next month.
Luis Diaz‘s knee injury has already sidelined him till the New Year, therefore Darwin Nunez might get the start on the left flank in attack alongside Roberto Firmino and Salah.
Joel Matip, Arthur Melo, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are still out injured, but Klopp is hopeful that Ibrahima Konate will be able to play this weekend after the France defender failed a late fitness test.
Kurt Zouma was unable to travel to Southampton on Sunday, leaving West Ham without a crucial defender of their own.
In place of Zouma and Craig Dawson, who suffered a dead leg against Anderlecht in the Europa League on Thursday, Ben Johnson and Thilo Kehrer filled in. However, the two should return to give the visitors’ defense some much-needed experience.
Due to his speed and strength in transition, Michail Antonio might be used in the attack in place of Scamacca while Maxwel Cornet and Nayef Aguerd are still in sideline due thigh and ankle injuries, respectively.
Liverpool possible starting lineup;
Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Nunez
West Ham possible starting lineup;
Fabianski; Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Emerson; Antonio
