Liverpool will play West Ham on Monday in the latest match in their quest for a first Premier League title in 30 years.

As it stands, they have a 22-point lead at the top of the table, and need just five more wins to confirm their status as champions. However, their loss against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday may have them questioning themselves just a little bit.

No clues: Can you name the season these iconic Liverpool images belong to?

Here, we try to predict the starting XI for the Hammers match.

In goal, Alisson will keep his place. As we enter the true business end of the campaign, the Brazil international may start every single fixture bar injury – only in the FA Cup may he be rested.

The back four is unlikely to change either, meaning that Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold will flank Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. The Reds may have had their troubles defensively in Europe so far this term – they have kept just one clean sheet in seven matches to date – but they have not conceded in nine of the last 10 matches in the English top flight.

Fabinho should start in defensive midfield, but Jurgen Klopp will be forced into one change in central midfield.

Jordan Henderson was forced off injured at the Wanda Metropolitano due to a hamstring issue, meaning he will not be available for three weeks. That could see James Milner come into the team alongside Naby Keita who, after not starting against Los Rojiblancos, could be tasked with providing some attacking threat from midfield here.

Up front, Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino should be given the nod. The former may have been withdrawn against Atletico, but that was due to a potential disciplinary issue rather any fitness worries – Klopp will be hoping all three can do the business against the Irons.

Meanwhile, Liverpool scout this 10-goal hot-shot who rubbed shoulders with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in 2019.
