Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Liverpool could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will only be missing three players for Sunday's Premier League showdown with West Ham United at the London Stadium.

Neither Ibrahima Konate (knee) nor Conor Bradley (hamstring) will return before the New Year, while Dominik Szoboszlai picked up a milestone booking in the 3-1 win over Leicester City on Boxing Day and has a one-game ban to serve.

The Hungarian's punishment will not have a massive impact on Slot's selection in the capital; he was only given a 15-minute run-out on Thursday night as Curtis Jones justified his starting role with a goal.

Jones and Mohamed Salah - now on 100 Premier League home goals - will certainly hold their places in attack, but the same cannot be said of Darwin Nunez, who is still failing to fire and may be demoted for Diogo Jota.

Cody Gakpo took home the man of the match prize from the win over Leicester, but purely for the purposes of rotation and keeping players fresh over the festive period, Luis Diaz might start on the left on Sunday.

Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch are unlikely to enjoy such respite, though, and the same goes for Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alisson Becker in defence.

Andy Robertson did not cover himself in glory for Jordan Ayew's opener on Boxing Day, though, and Slot may consider bringing Kostas Tsimikas back into the fold for the clash with the Irons.

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Jota
