Only a pair of wins from their remaining seven games would see Liverpool clinch the title. Whereas, West Ham United may be sitting in 16th place in the league table but they are 15 points above the drop zone. They’re secure in this position even after failing to secure a win in their last four league matches.

They are coming into this match on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth last week. Even with this result, their away scoring record has been oddly effective. Added to these, both teams dealing with key injuries, the crucial Premier League match becomes more interesting.

Liverpool Injury News

Arne Slot confirmed that the Reds are set to receive a squad boost with Alisson Becker set to return in goal in this match after recovering from a head injury. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton are all sidelined with ankle, hamstring, and shoulder injuries respectively.

Fortunately for them, Conor Bradley is fit again and may slot in at the right-back position. Hence, Curtis Jones could drop out to accommodate that switch. All eyes will be on Mohamed Salah, who is seeking to mark his new contract with a standout performance today. He will also be determined too break his recent four-game goal drought.

Liverpool probable starting lineup:

Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Bradley; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Diaz, Szoboszlai, Salah; Jota

West Ham United Injury News

Graham Potter expects to field a largely unchanged lineup from the draw they registered against Bournemouth. Only a minor concern is surrounding Niclas Fullkrug, who trained on Friday, so he may be available for this match. However, Crysencio Summerville, Michail Antonio, and Aaron Cresswell will remain unavailable.

Respectively, this trio are yet to recover from thigh, leg, and muscle injuries. If Fullkrug is not risked, the coach could introduce Jarrod Bowen, who has a strong record against Liverpool. The Hammers will aim to end their four-game winless streak while securing another step toward Premier League survival.

West Ham United probable starting lineup:

Areola; Emerson, Kilman, Todibo, Wan-Bissaka; Ward-Prowse, Alvarez; Paqueta, Soler, Kudus; Bowen
