Liverpool host West Ham United at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, aiming to secure a third consecutive Premier League victory without conceding.
The Reds have moved within striking distance of the top four after a pair of disciplined 1–0 wins. Manager Arne Slot oversaw a hard-fought victory at Nottingham Forest last time out, and his side arrives at Anfield having lost just one of their last 19 league meetings with the Hammers. Notably, Liverpool have won seven of the last eight encounters in this fixture.

Arne Slot manages a squad coping with the absence of its main creative spark but bolstered by a defensive return. Notably, Florian Wirtz has been ruled out after failing to overcome a back injury, a blow Slot described as a “disappointment” given the player’s recent rhythm. Consequently, Dominik Szoboszlai could be pushed into a more advanced role. Notably, Szoboszlai has taken more shots from outside the box (37) than any other Premier League player this season. Jeremie Frimpong is fit and available for selection after a five-match layoff.
Alisson Becker will start in goal behind a defensive line led by Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté. In midfield, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch are expected to continue their partnership. Mohamed Salah will lead the attack as he searches for his first league goal in ten games, supported by Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike. Notably, nine of the 13 goals scored in the 90th minute or later in Liverpool’s games this term have altered the match result.
