📰Liverpool team news
Liverpool will hope Ryan Gravenberch is fit enough to feature after he was substituted against LASK on his full debut for the club. The Netherlands international put in an impressive performance and grabbed an assist on his first start, with Jurgen Klopp downplaying injury concerns by suggesting it was merely cramp that forced him off.
Elsewhere, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s hamstring injury should keep him out of the West Ham encounter despite the defender nearing a return, while Thiago is also expected to miss out having not played yet this season.
Klopp made 11 changes for the trip to Austria on Thursday and will likely make a fair few more for West Ham’s visit. The only players likely to keep their place are Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz and perhaps Darwin Nunez.

Great finish by Nunez there
Surprise surprise. It’s 3-1 again. Let’s just make this a theme for the season lads.
But surprisingly we didn’t go 0-1 at first :D
Haha yeah, that’s true!
WHAT A GOAL by Darwin!
What a pass by Mac Allister!
Need another goal to put this one away. Not confident with a 1 goal lead against West Ham
GET IN! A bit lucky with Diaz’s heel, but a clear penalty and otherwise a very nice counter.
A very well taken penalty kick by Mo as well!
We turn into such a good team the second either team scores the first goal
Jinxed it
Really excited for the match today. Think it will be a close one, but hopeful we can manage a W at home. YNWA!
