West Ham v Liverpool – Confirmed lineups – Klopp suffers major blow as star playmaker ruled out

Liverpool take a trip down to London today as they face West Ham United in the Premier League.

The Clash takes place at the London stadium while kick-off is scheduled for 17:30 (GMT).

Jurgen Klopp’s side come into tonight’s clash in high spirits following back-to-back wins. The Reds defeated Huddersfield by a 3-0 scoreline and recorded another 3-0 win over Maribor in the UEFA Champions League.

West Ham United meanwhile have struggled to maintain form this season. Slaven Bilic’s side are without a win in their last two games and gave away a 2-0 lead against Crystal Palace last weekend.

Klopp has been unable to call upon Adam Lallana this weekend due to an injury. Star playmaker Philipe Coutinho has also been ruled out with an injury.

Emre Can has been included in Liverpool’s starting eleven, the 23-year-old scored for the Reds earlier this week.
