Liverpool and West Ham have confirmed their starting teams for their meeting at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Reds earned a last-gasp victory at Nottingham Forest last Sunday and a third successive league win would move Arne Slot’s side level on points with fourth-placed Manchester United, who host Crystal Palace on Sunday (14:00 GMT).
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Hammers, who have taken seven points from their last three league games following a 0-0 draw at home to Bournemouth a week ago, must win to move a point above fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, who are in action at the same time on Sunday away to Brighton & Hove Albion.
