Liverpool v West Ham: match preview
Jürgen Klopp has major problems in central defence but whether David Moyes has the options to capitalise is debatable. West Ham arrive in good form after four league games unbeaten but without striker Michail Antonio following the hamstring injury he sustained against Manchester City. With Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk and probably Joel Matip all out, the Liverpool manager could hand a Premier League debut to Rhys Williams, Nathaniel Phillips or Billy Koumetio alongside Joe Gomez. Jordan Henderson is another alternative but doubts over the fitness of Thiago Alcântara and Naby Keïta may prevent that switch as Liverpool aim to equal a club record of 63 league game unbeaten at Anfield.
