Liverpool head into their clash with West Ham brimming with confidence, bolstered by encouraging squad updates and the opposition’s mounting injury woes.
According to Hammers News, West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui faces significant setbacks:
Max Kilman suffered an unexpected shoulder injury during their recent game and had to be substituted.
Lukasz Fabianski, in fine form, was stretchered off following a concussion after making an outstanding save.
Carlos Soler is likely to miss the Liverpool match due to a knee issue that forced his substitution at halftime.
Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez are suspended after accumulating yellow cards, further depleting West Ham’s midfield.
Despite the return of Lucas Paqueta from suspension, West Ham’s midfield remains severely weakened, presenting a selection headache for Lopetegui.
For Liverpool, the return of Federico Chiesa offers a glimmer of hope as he edges closer to consistent involvement in the squad.
Following a contentious Carabao Cup clash between the two sides, West Ham will seek redemption, but Liverpool will aim to maintain their league-topping form.
