Liverpool v West Ham - Preview and possible line-ups

Liverpool:

The home side are in deadly form going into Saturday's tie. In fact, in the Champions League, Liverpool have an astounding average of five goals per game. This past week, the side have enjoyed a relaxing get-away in Marbella and will be keen to return to wreaking havoc in the Premier League. 

There are no notable absentees for Jurgen Klopp's side. Don't be surprised to see Klopp's star Egyptian, Mo Salah, equal Luis Suarez's tally of 31 goals in his first season at Anfield. 

West Ham:

After a 2-0 victory against Watford last time around, David Moyes' 'Hammers' are still by no means clear of the relegation battle. West Ham have shown themselves to be clinical in counter-attacking football this season and they'll have to be just that if they are to leave Merseyside with any points. 

'The Hammers' are likely to be without Andy Carrol (ankle), Pedro Obiang (knee) and the suspended Arthur Musuaku. Jose Fonte is also a doubt with a move to China rumoured to be on the horizon. 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: 

"We need to be ready for a difficult game. [West Ham] always have opportunities with counter-attacks and set-pieces to score for themselves."

West Ham manager David Moyes: 

"It's a tough game, but we're in a good run of form ourselves. It will not be easy to stop Mane, Salah and Firmino. We will try to contain them - they have other players of course but those three can create on their own."
