Premier League: Liverpool vs West Ham Team News and Confirmed Lineups
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool manager Arne Slot discussed player availability in his pre-match press conference. He confirmed that Kerkez is fit:
“He played 80 minutes, then I subbed him for Robertson. I’m able to rotate the wingers and full-backs for fresh energy. It’s great to have more than 11 players. Milos is available for tomorrow.”
On Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, he added:
“Jeremie is fine and trained with the squad. Unfortunately, Florian isn’t available. It’s disappointing as he has performed well, but I cannot say how long he will be out.”
West Ham Team News
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo discussed Pablo Felipe’s status, saying: “He hasn’t joined us yet and is on his own program. He is improving, but it depends on him. We look forward to his return.”
Santo also mentioned his team’s recent form:
“We’ve played well in the last two matches and the FA Cup. There have been improvements with clean sheets and good performances, even if results haven’t always reflected that.”
“Saturday presents a new challenge, but we are feeling confident.”
