Liverpool will again be without Roberto Firmino for this weekend’s Premier League game against West Ham.

The Brazilian picked up a muscular injury in the Champions League last-16 clash against Inter and has not played since, missing three games in a row.

Also injured in that game was Thiago Alcantara, but he is closer to fitness even if he might not make it back in time to play versus West Ham.

Liverpool are hoping that he will be passed fit to face Inter in the second leg of the last-16 tie this upcoming midweek.

Jurgen Klopp made widespread changes to his starting XI for the FA Cup victory against Norwich, with Curtis Jones one of the players to receive a start. He will likely not start this one, however, after feeling pain in his thigh.

Expect many big-hitters to return after being rested for the FA Cup.

Alisson will start in goal behind a back four of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson.

Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott might be given the nod in midfield, though Naby Keita is also an option in the central three.

In attack, Klopp may opt for Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, with Luis Diaz and FA Cup hero Takumi Minamino having to settle for a place on the bench.
