Darwin Nunez in starting line-up as Liverpool make five changes for West Ham

Darwin Nunez returns to Liverpool's starting lineup as Jurgen Klopp names an attacking side for the visit of West Ham.

Nunez was a late substitute in Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester City but leads the line against David Moyes's men after Diogo Jota was ruled out for a number of months with a serious calf injury sustained at the weekend.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is also back in the starting XI after shaking off an ankle problem picked up in the defeat to Arsenal on October 9. James Milner drops to the bench as a result.

Fabio Carvalho also returns to the team as Harvey Elliott and Fabinho make way. Both midfielders had started the victories against Rangers and City but are part of the bench this evening as Klopp names Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara in the middle.

Andy Robertson is named as a substitute as Kostas Tsimikas deputises for the Scotland captain on the left-side of defence as Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk continue their partnership in the centre.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain makes his first appearance in a Liverpool match-day squad since the Champions League final last season.

Liverpool : Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Firmino, Carvalho; Nunez.

Subs : Kelleher, Fabinho, Milner, Robertson, Jones, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Elliott, Phillips, Clark.
