Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs. West Ham United: Premier League

Liverpool look to end 2024 on a high note when they travel to London Stadium to face West Ham United.

Unbeaten in all competitions since Sept. 14, the Reds are flying high. A win against West Ham in their final game of 2024 would take them nine points clear of second place Arsenal. Though, Arne Slot will have to navigate the game if he wants a mostly available squad for Manchester United save for the injured Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate.

Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch and Darwin Núñez are all at risk of missing the rivalry game to kick off 2025 if they pick up a yellow card this time out. Liverpool will already be without Dominik Szoboszlai through yellow card accumulation as well for the West Ham game.

Here's how Liverpool could look against West Ham United.
