The match at Anfield is expected to be a high-intensity affair, with Liverpool looking to capitalise on their home advantage.

• Alisson (Head): The goalkeeper's potential absence is a significant blow, with Caoimhin Kelleher expected to continue in goal.
• Joe Gomez (Hamstring): His injury leaves a gap in the defense, likely to be filled by Jarell Quansah.
• Tyler Morton (Shoulder): The young midfielder's absence may see more minutes for Harvey Elliott.
• Trent Alexander-Arnold (Ankle): His injury is a major concern, with Conor Bradley likely to deputise at right-back.
  

• Michail Antonio (Leg): The striker's injury could see Danny Ings or Evan Ferguson leading the line.
• Crysencio Summerville (Muscle): His absence might force a reshuffle in the attacking midfield, with Mohammed Kudus potentially filling in.
  

Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Diaz

Liverpool are likely to stick with their 4-3-3 formation, focusing on high pressing and quick transitions. With Alexander-Arnold out, Bradley will be tasked with providing width and creativity from the right-back position.

Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todido, Scarles; Alvarez, Ward-Prowse; Kudus, Soucek, Paqueta; Bowen

Tactical Setup: West Ham may opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation to counter Liverpool's attacking threat, with a focus on compactness and counter-attacking. The absence of Antonio likely means Bowen's leading the attacking line, with his pace testing the home defence.

• Mohamed Salah vs Ollie Scarles: Salah's ability to exploit spaces and deliver decisive moments will be crucial. Scarles will need to be at his best to contain the Egyptian's threat.
• Virgil van Dijk vs Jarrod Bowen: Bowen's pace and movement could test van Dijk, who will need to be alert to prevent West Ham from finding a breakthrough.
• Alexis Mac Allister vs James Ward-Prowse: The midfield battle will be pivotal, with Mac Allister's energy and passing range up against Ward-Prowse's set-piece expertise and defensive solidity.
  

• Liverpool have won 36 of their 57 Premier League meetings with West Ham, with the Hammers securing just 10 victories in that time.
• Mohamed Salah has scored 11 goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances against West Ham, showcasing his dominance in this fixture.
