This Sunday at Anfield, two illustrious Premier League teams—Liverpool and West Ham United—return to domestic play after achieving very comparable victories in their initial Europa League games. Earlier in the week, Liverpool overturned a deficit to defeat LASK Linz 3-1, while West Ham also completed a comeback from a one-goal deficit to defeat Backa Topola.
For this match, Jurgen Klopp will deploy his team in a 4-3-3 system and is anticipated to make numerous changes to his starting lineup. The starting lineup for this home game includes Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Alexis Mac Allister, Domink Szoboszlai, Curtis Jones, and Cody Gapko.
West Ham United vs. Liverpool Predicted XI in a 4-3-3
Defence
Alisson will serve as the Reds’ goalkeeper as he attempts to record a clean sheet at home. At the heart of Liverpool’s defense, Virgil Van Dijk will team up with Ibrahima Konate in an effort to contain the opposition for the whole 90 minutes.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury will cause Joe Gomez to come in as the right-back once more. Kostas Tsimikas will be replaced by Andrew Robertson, who will excel as the left-back on the other side.
The defensive spots on the bench will get coverage from Tsimikas and Joel Matip.
Midfield
To establish their dominance over the opponent at the center of the pitch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Curtis Jones will serve as Klopp’s primary central midfielders. If they want to give Liverpool enough chances to win convincingly at Anfield, all three of them must move the ball effectively.
In case the second 45 minutes are necessary, Ryan Gravenberch and Harvey Elliot will be placed on the bench to wait for their chance to contribute.
Attack
While Mohamed Salah looks to use his speed to advantage on the right flank, Diogo Jota will strive to stand out as the left winger.
The top of the Merseyside club’s offense will be led by Cody Gapko. The majority of his team’s goal-scoring responsibility will fall to the international player from the Netherlands.
As they wait for their turn to make an impression in the final third, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz will take a seat on the bench.
