Joel Matip returns to the first XI for the visitors Liverpool who take on West Ham United in Wednesday night’s Premier League contest at the London Stadium.
Konate drops out of the squad due to injury
The Frenchman who has been a regular on the team sheet in recent weeks alongside Virgil van Dijk is not a part of the matchday squad due to an injury.
Providing cover for him in the centre-back role is the returning Joel Matip who partners Van Dijk with Arnold and Robertson slotting in the full-back roles.
Unchaged midfield for Liverpool
Despite the expectation that the fit again Thiago Alcantara could return to the XI in place of Curtis Jones, the latter retains his starting berth on the team sheet.
Mohamed Salah is joined by Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota in the attacking third of the pitch with Darwin Nunez having to settle for a place on the bench.
Here is how both teams line up for today’s Premier League fixture:
