Liverpool XI vs West Ham: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and latest injuries for Premier League match

Jurgen Klopp will return to a more familiar starting XI when Liverpool resume their Premier League title push at West Ham United this evening.

The German made 11 changes for the weekend visit to third-tier Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup, but will restore his big guns at London Stadium as the Reds - currently 16 points clear of closest challengers Manchester City - look to extend their remarkable start to the league campaign.

The only selection decision Klopp faces is how to replace Sadio Mane, who sustained a hamstring injury in the 2-1 win over Wolves last Thursday and will miss the next three matches, with a potential return date pencilled in for the February 15 clash against Norwich City.

January arrival Takumi Minamino replaced the Senegalese international at Molineux but, having also started in the FA Cup just three days later, may lose out to Divock Origi this time around.

Liverpool predicted lineup (4-4-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Origi, Firmino.
