Liverpool, coming off their second Premier League defeat under Arne Slot, will be looking to put on a dominant performance against West Ham United.
Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage last weekend was disappointing. The Reds have now lost three of their last four games in all competitions, but they should be able to bounce back against a struggling West Ham side.
A Premier League victory at Anfield on Sunday will be the ideal way to mark Mohamed Salah’s contract extension. The Egyptian superstar has finally signed a new contract with the Reds that will last until 2027, bringing an end to a season-long contract dispute.
More good news for Slot: Conor Bradley and Alisson are set to start against West Ham after recovering from their respective injuries. Bradley, in particular, gives Liverpool a significant boost on the right flank, as Trent Alexander-Arnold is still out with an ankle injury. Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are also sidelined.
Here’s how Liverpool’s lineup might look against the Hammers on Sunday, April 13.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup vs. West Ham (4-2-3-1)
GK: Alisson—All signs point to the Brazilian making his first start since he suffered a head injury during the international break.
RB: Conor Bradley—Bradley made his return from injury against Fulham and is in line to start on the right flank. The 21-year-old gives Liverpool a major boost while Alexander-Arnold remains sidelined.
CB: Ibrahima Konaté—The Frenchman will look to keep Jarrod Bowen off the scoresheet.
CB: Virgil van Dijk—Liverpool’s captain must lead his defense to a better performance one week after conceding three goals to Fulham.
LB: Andrew Robertson—Robertson has struggled at times this season, but he is still Slot’s first-choice left back.
CM: Ryan Gravenberch—Gravenberch is a staple in Liverpool’s midfield and will once again star in a double pivot alongside Mac Allister.
CM: Alexis Mac Allister—The Argentine was Liverpool’s best player in their defeat to Fulham. Not only did Mac Allister find the back of the net, but he also created the most chances in the match.
RW: Mohamed Salah—Salah finally inked a new contract with Liverpool through 2027.
AM: Dominik Szoboszlai—The 24-year-old is approaching his 90th career appearance for the Reds.
LW: Luis Díaz—Expect the Colombian to return to Slot’s XI after finding the back of the net against Fulham.
ST: Diogo Jota—Jota will look to bounce back from a forgetful night at Craven Cottage last weekend. The Portuguese international has only scored three goals across all competitions in 2025.
