Team News
West Ham United
Nuno Espírito Santo has received a massive boost with Lucas Paquetá returning from suspension. Furthermore, striker Niclas Füllkrug is pushing for more minutes after his comeback from injury. However, the manager is sweating on the fitness of key duo Crysencio Summerville and Dinos Mavropanos, who both face late tests. Callum Wilson, who scored a brace last weekend, is set to lead the line.
Liverpool
Arne Slot has confirmed that goalkeeper Alisson Becker is expected to return after illness kept him out in midweek. Additionally, there is cautious optimism that playmaker Florian Wirtz could make the squad after a muscle issue. However, Hugo Ekitike is a doubt with a back problem. The Reds remain without right-backs Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong, meaning Joe Gomez could be drafted into the defence.
Form
West Ham United
The Hammers have turned a corner in November, taking seven points from their last nine. Back-to-back home wins over Newcastle and Burnley have lifted them out of the relegation zone to 17th. Although they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw at Bournemouth last week, their recent home form is strong. They are aiming to win three consecutive Premier League games at the London Stadium in the same season for the first time since 2022.
Liverpool
Liverpool are in freefall. They have lost their last three games in all competitions by an aggregate score of 10-1. Alarmingly, they have conceded three or more goals in each of those defeats. Consequently, they have slipped to 12th in the table. Their away form is also dire, having lost their last four Premier League road games and their last five visits to London clubs.
Predicted Lineups
West Ham United predicted XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf; Potts, Fernandes; Bowen, Paqueta, Summerville; Wilson
Liverpool predicted XI: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Chiesa; Isak
