Liverpool predicted lineup vs West Ham - Premier League

Liverpool can continue their surge towards the Premier League title on Sunday afternoon when they host West Ham United.

The Reds stumbled in their bid to guarantee top spot come the end of the season when they were beaten by Fulham last weekend, with a litany of defensive mistakes proving costly in the capital. Arne Slot's side, who have lost three of their last five in all competitions, must bounce back against the Irons.

Several alterations may be made to the Liverpool starting lineup following their struggles at Craven Cottage, but injuries are few and far between for the table toppers heading into an important encounter.

Here is how Liverpool could function at Anfield.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs West Ham (4-2-3-1)

GK: Alisson - Liverpool should welcome Alisson back into the starting lineup following a head injury that has sidelined him since the international break. The Brazilian will hope for a routine return.

RB: Conor Bradley - The enforced Curtis Jones right-back experiment failed miserably at Fulham and the Reds will be relieved that Conor Bradley is once again fit. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez remain in the treatment room.

CB: Ibrahima Konate - Konate was part of an error-strewn defensive performance last time out and the Frenchman does have the unwanted habit of losing concentration in key moments. Despite West Ham's forward struggles, they still have some excellent attackers capable of exposing Konate.

CB: Virgil van Dijk - The Liverpool skipper is closing in on a new contract and clarification over his future could help him rediscover his footing after uncharacteristically poor showings against Everton and Fulham.

LB: Andy Robertson - Despite consistently disappointing performances this term, Robertson continues to be preferred to the equally unreliable Kostas Tsimikas. The Scotsman made a catastrophic error that gifted Fulham their second last Sunday.

DM: Ryan Gravenberch - Unwanted rumours regarding his future will be brushed to one side until the campaign is finished, with the midfielder needing to rediscover his early season form during the run-in.

DM: Alexis Mac Allister - Mac Allister produced an absolute stunner against Fulham - not for the first time - and was one of the few to leave Craven Cottage with his pride intact.

RW: Mohamed Salah - Liverpool supporters will be hoping that Salah's two-year contract extension will help raise his performance levels. The Egyptian has been astonishing this term but is enduring a small slump.

AM: Dominik Szoboszlai - Liverpool's indefatigable midfielder will need to provide some of the attacking spark that has made him so lethal in the number ten role against the porous Hammers.

LW: Luis Diaz - Diaz must return to the lineup after Cody Gakpo's anonymous display last weekend, with the former rising from the bench to get on the scoresheet against Fulham.

ST: Diogo Jota - Jota was expected to kick on after scoring the winner in the Merseyside derby, but the Portuguese was underwhelming against the Cottagers last time out. Fortunately for him, Darwin Nunez seemingly can't be trusted to lead the line.
