Full Liverpool squad available to face West Ham as four sidelined and one player doubtful

Liverpool will be looking to record a third successive victory when travelling to the London Stadium to face West Ham United later tonight.

The Reds came out on top in recent Premier League fixtures with Leeds United and Nottingham Forest to give themselves an outside chance of qualifying for the Champions League, though anything but perfection from now until the end of next month will undoubtedly end any hopes of a top-four finish.

This evening's opponents head into this encounter on the back of a 4-0 away win at Bournemouth, which has allayed any fears of relegation, and appear to have regained confidence of late after also booking their place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League.

Ibrahima Konate is a doubt for tonight's trip to the capital, with Jurgen Klopp admitting the Frenchman's fitness is currently being monitored. "Ibou, we need to see how it is with him but in the moment I am rather positive but that doesn’t mean a lot. From possible starters I think that’s it," said the Reds' boss at his press conference on Tuesday.

Naby Keita is closer to a return to match action, though is not yet ready to be fully considered, meanwhile Roberto Firmino remains sidelined due to a muscle problem sustained last week.

“If everything goes well I think he could be in partial training today [Tuesday]. That’s what I heard yesterday,” explained Klopp of Keita. He was not in team training yet but he could do warming up, if we do rondos he could do that and then he has again to do his own programme. So it means, yes, [he is] much closer, much, much closer.”

On Firmino, the Liverpool boss added: “We are still thinking that… this week, no, I hope that at the end of the week he is closer, but so far he was not in team training, so that’s it.”

Below is the full squad available for the Reds' latest Premier League encounter, barring any late issues.

Goalkeepers: Adrian, Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher.

Defenders: Andy Robertson, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate, Kostas Tsimikas, Nat Phillips, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk.

Midfielders: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur Melo, Curtis Jones, Fabinho, Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliott, James Milner, Jordan Henderson.

Forwards: Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah.

Sidelined: Calvin Ramsay, Naby Keita, Roberto Firmino, Stefan Bajcetic.
