Latest West Ham vs Liverpool team information
Liverpool's injury situation remains unchanged, with manager Slot confirming Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (muscle) will miss out, but could return against Manchester United in early 2025. The pair are among three players who are certain to miss out, along with Dominik Szoboszlai, who is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the Premier League season.
Szoboszlai only came off the bench against Leicester, and Harvey Jones will continue to replace him. Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz will try to get back into the attack in place of Darwin Nunez, who has struggled for goalscoring form.
While Liverpool's squad is solid, West Ham have been hit by a number of injury problems following their win over Southampton. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski suffered a serious head injury and has been placed under concussion protocol. Max Kilman also left the pitch with a shoulder injury.
Coach Lopetegui confirmed that Carlos Soler was taken off in the first half with a knee injury, while Guido Rodriguez and Tomas Soucek are suspended. Lucas Paqueta is back from suspension and could replace either of the absentees, while Edson Alvarez is expected to feature. Michail Antonio is still recovering from a car accident.

Latest football review West Ham vs Liverpool
Although Chelsea and Arsenal failed to capitalise on the defeats of their Premier League title rivals, Liverpool did not miss out on a chance on Thursday night, coming from behind to win after Chelsea's shock defeat to Fulham. Liverpool were tested by Jordan Ayew's opener but equalised through Cody Gakpo's fine strike and came back with goals from Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah.
Salah, despite being 30, continues to reach new heights, becoming the eighth player to score 100 Premier League home goals, helping Liverpool maintain a solid lead at the top of the table. Arne Slot's team, with 11 wins in their last 13 games, have not lost since he arrived at Anfield.
Liverpool are currently unbeaten in their first 13 away games of the 2024-25 season, but their defence has conceded at least two goals in their last four away games, giving the hosts hope. West Ham, under Julen Lopetegui, will not miss the opportunity to cause Liverpool trouble, especially as they ended 2024 in impressive form, with a four-game unbeaten run.
West Ham have leapfrogged Manchester United to move up to 13th in the table, closer to the top five than the relegation zone. They are also in good form, with eight points from their last four games. The London Stadium will be a test for Liverpool, who have won their last six meetings, including a 5-1 win in the EFL Cup this season and a 5-1 win in last year's Wembley title race.
