How Liverpool should line up against West Ham – Fabinho makes the Reds stronger but Keita dull

"Liverpool is a stronger team with Fabinho"

Connor Dunn: No one will be surprised to learn that Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and the traditional group of three leaders are undeniable starters, except in the event of a late injury.

Jurgen Klopp has already announced that James Milner would return after his game ban and play on the back right while Joel Matip is the only other fit and senior option at the back center, c & # 39; so is the head of the field and the bottom line sorted.

Gini Wijnaldum was one of the Reds' best players against Leicester and keeps his place.

Fabinho must absolutely play because Liverpool has a much stronger appearance in the middle of the midfield and captain Jordan Henderson also starts – although in his favorite midfielder position.

This should be enough for the job to be done well, but there is always Xherdan Shaqiri who intervenes and has an impact if necessary.

My team (4-3-3): Alison, Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wiijnaldum, Fabinho, Henderson, Firmino, Salah, Mane

"Keita was dull against Leicester"

Sam Carroll: What a test is for Liverpool.

Despite extending their lead at the top of the Premier League after the draw against Leicester, the clash against West Ham suggests that we must react.

Keeping this in mind, Jurgen Klopp will undoubtedly give James Milner an immediate recall, while Joel Matip retains his place in the fourth.

In my opinion, Naby Keita has been mediocre for much of the Leicester match and was dropped for Fabinho, while the first three do not need to be introduced.

Xherdan Shaqiri, another disappointment last week, is replaced by midfielder Jordan Henderson.

My team (4-3-3): Alisson, Milner, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Henderson; Mane, Firmino, Salah

"Klopp needs more strength in the center of the park"

Chris Beesley: James Milner's return from suspension has already prompted Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp to declare that his all-round veteran needed to be replaced at the back, ensuring that the big calls to the Reds' boss will be about rebuilding the midfield. ground.

Since the leaders of the Premier League are absent from Anfield at the London Stadium, I opted for increased solidity in the center of the park.

Captain Jordan Henderson was reinstated in the engine room after losing to Leicester City. Fabinho joined to give a little more strength to the players Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita.

My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Milner, Robertson, Matip, Van Dijk; Fabinho, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane.
