Injury updates for West Ham and Liverpool before their Premier League matchup.
When Liverpool plays West Ham United at Anfield on Sunday (14.00 BST), they will be focusing once again on the Premier League. The 2023–24 season has gotten off to a successful start for both teams. The Reds have 13 points after five games in the Premier League, while their 3-1 victory over LASK gave them a winning start in the Europa League.
West Ham also won their opening match in the second-tier league on the continent, defeating TSC Backa Topola 3-1 at the London Stadium. Despite losing stalwart Declan Rice during the summer transfer window, the Hammers have also earned 10 points in the Premier League. Here is an early look at the team news for both teams prior to the match.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: Uncertain
A 50/50 chance existed that the Liverpool right-back would play against West Ham earlier this week. If he is not prepared, he won’t be risked.
Ryan Gravenberch: A small concern
discomfort forced him to leave the LASK game, but he should be OK.
Outgoing Thiago Alcantara
Despite undergoing hip surgery in April, still unavailable.
