Confirmed Liverpool team vs West Ham: Naby Keita gets the nod in midfield

Naby Keita

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool starting eleven for this evening’s Premier League clash against West Ham United.

The Reds boss makes one change to the side that tasted a rare defeat against Atletico Madrid last week as the injured Jordan Henderson makes way for Naby Keita.

As expected, it’s Alisson between the sticks with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson in the usual Liverpool back-line.

Keita comes into midfield alongside Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum, while Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are in attack. James Milner is out as a precaution whilst Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Takumi Minamino and Adam Lallana are included on the bench.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Adrian, Lovren, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Lallana, Origi, Matip.

West Ham: Fabianski, Ngakia, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Rice, Noble, Soucek, Snodgrass, F. Anderson, Antonio.

Substitutes: Randolph, Zabaleta, Balbuena, Lanzini, Fornals, Bowen, Haller.
