Liverpool face West Ham United on Saturday evening in what has to be considered a major speedbump in their quest for the Premier League title.
Indeed, West Ham had Liverpool’s number when these two sides met earlier in the season, but, as we know, beating this Liverpool team at Anfield is an almost impossible task.
The Reds are almost unbeatable at home, but you can never write off this West Ham side, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Liverpool’s starting XI for this one.
We expect Jurgen Klopp to make as many as eight changes from the team that won against Norwich in midweek.
Alisson retains his spot in goal despite a wobbly display against West Ham in the reverse fixture.
The back four is about what you’d expect it to be after Joel Matip was ruled out of this clash with illness.
Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara is not expected to return in the midfield, so Harvey Elliott starts alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Diogo Jota returned from injury to face Norwich on Wednesday, but we think he’ll stay on the bench for this one as the same front three that started the League Cup final are fielded here.
