Ibrahima Konaté suffered a late injury and will be unavailable for this match vs West Ham United, allowing Joel Matip to come into the Starting XI. Otherwise, the Reds' lineup remains intact from the last four matches. As mentioned in Jürgen Klopp's pre-match press conference, the Hammers are dangerous as Antonio and Jarrod Bowen have a combined 23 goals between them up top. With Trent Alexander-Arnold pushing further up the pitch lately it will be important for other defenders to track back and cover.

LFC Globe Verdict
If not for a late injury to Ibrahima Konaté, the Reds could have fielded the same Starting XI for the fourth consecutive time, something they have not done since 2020. Even so, Matip has seen plenty of starts this season so it's not a huge difference. The Liverpool front line stays intact and they have been doing the majority of the scoring as of late.
