Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez are dropped from the starting lineup for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez have been dropped from Liverpool‘s starting lineup for their Premier League clash with West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Both attackers were given the green light from the off in the midweek Merseyside derby, but neither covered themselves in glory as the Reds slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Everton’s home.
Jurgen Klopp has responded to that Goodison Park setback with five changes in the capital, two of which see Salah and Nunez take their places on the bench in another bold selection call from the departing boss.
Harvey Elliott will seemingly be taking up residence on the right wing in Salah’s absence, while Cody Gakpo – absent against Everton due to the birth of his child – will start up front ahead of Nunez.
Luis Diaz, the one attacker who did himself justice against Everton, unsurprisingly holds his place on the left with Diogo Jota injured, but Klopp has made another pair of alterations in midfield.
Alexis Mac Allister starts once more, but Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones have both been sacrificed to allow Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo to return to the Reds’ XI.
West Ham United: Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Ogbonna, Emerson; Alvarez, Soucek; Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio
Subs: Fabianski, Cresswell, Ings, Johnson, Cornet, Ward-Prowse, Phillips, Mubama, Casey
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Endo, Mac Allister; Elliott, Gakpo, Diaz
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Salah, Konate, Jones, Tsimikas, Bajcetic
