Liverpool have almost a clean bill of health heading to West Ham on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp’s hopes of delivering a second Premier League title during his final season in charge are now hanging by a thread following Wednesday's hugely disappointing loss to Everton in the Merseyside derby.

The Reds boss rested the likes of Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister for the win at Fulham before the short journey to Goodison Park but it had little impact on their performance.

As such, it remains to be seen whether Klopp changes his lineup again for the journey to east London in a bid to keep as much pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City as possible, however distant their title hopes may be.

Cody Gakpo missed the defeat to Everton due to his partner expecting their first child and it is unclear whether the Dutchman will feature.

Diogo Jota is injured but is expected to make his comeback before the end of the season, while Stefan Bajcetic will not be rushed back into action.

It would be a major call for Klopp to drop one of his underperforming attackers for young Jayden Danns with few other senior options available.

Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Ben Doak are all out.

Injured: Jota, Doak, Matip, Thiago

Time and date: 12.30pm BST on Saturday 27 April, 2024
