Liverpool, currently on a winning streak and aiming to preserve their unbeaten run from the start of the season, will field their strongest lineup regardless of the demanding schedule as they welcome West Ham to Anfield. Liverpool recently secured a victory in their Europa League debut against LASK while playing away. The team faced difficulties in maintaining their fitness after traveling back from Austria for the upcoming match against West Ham at Anfield.
One player who appeared fatigued after the midweek game was newcomer Ryan Gravenberch. The Dutch star displayed signs of physical exhaustion upon leaving the pitch, making it unlikely for him to feature in the upcoming weekend match. Additionally, Klopp may be without Trent Alexander-Arnold (thigh strain) and Thiago Alcantara (hip injury). These key players’ absence will undoubtedly impact the team’s strength to some extent.
In the match against LASK, Klopp made significant changes to the starting lineup compared to the previous Premier League fixture against Wolves in Gameweek 5. Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez played the full 90 minutes in Austria, making it less likely for them to start against West Ham. This is a time when Klopp must rotate players, regardless of their confidence in their physical condition. The German tactician aims to avoid any further injury setbacks at Anfield.
