Liverpool host West Ham in the Premier League as the Reds look to continue their unbeaten start.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was not fit enough to make the squad for the visit of West Ham as manager Jurgen Klopp made three changes from last week’s win at Wolves.

After switching the entire XI for the Europa League win over LASK Klopp went back to his strongest line-up with the previously suspended Virgil van Dijk returning for Jarrell Quansah and Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, who impressed in Austria, coming in for Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota.

West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen returned after missing their Europa League win over TSC Backa Topola through illness, allowing David Moyes to name the same side which lost to Manchester City last weekend.

Moyes has never won in 18 previous Premier League away games against Liverpool (D6 L12). The only occasion of a manager taking charge of more away games against a side without ever winning is Moyes himself (19 at Arsenal).

Klopp will be fairly pleased with his side's performance - unlike them this season, they opened the scoring and were showing a lot of threat, but without really testing Areola, which is something he'll want to improve on. Moyes will having been rueing those early chances they missed, but his side grew back into the game and got their reward. They just need to keep moving the ball quickly in the final third.
