Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will be forced to cope without at least three players for Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United at Anfield.

Roberto Firmino's muscular problem will render him unavailable, and Thiago Alcantara is also set to remain sidelined ahead of a possible comeback against Inter Milan in the Champions League, while Joel Matip is ill.

Curtis Jones was a half-time withdrawal in the FA Cup win over Norwich City after a thigh complaint, but Klopp was always expected to make numerous changes for Saturday's game.

Alisson Becker is sure to hold his place in goal, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson prepare to come back in for James Milner and Kostas Tsimikas in the full-back areas.

Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk are set to partner up in the backline, and Fabinho ought to return to man the midfield with Jones expected to take his place on the bench.

Klopp named Jordan Henderson in the first XI for both the EFL Cup final and win over Norwich and may call upon the Englishman again with Naby Keita a doubt, while Harvey Elliott will hope to demote Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to the bench.

Takumi Minamino was Liverpool's two-goal hero on Wednesday night but is sure to drop out for Mohamed Salah, while Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz should join the Egyptian in the final third.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Mane, Diaz
