Full Liverpool squad available to face West Ham as six absent and midfielder close to comeback

Liverpool are looking to make it two Premier League wins in a row for only the second time this season when they take on West Ham at Anfield tonight.

The Reds surprised the rest of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over reigning champions Manchester City on Sunday, as Liverpool look to put their rough start to the season behind them with that impressive victory.

Mohamed Salah's goal late in the second half moved Liverpool up to eighth in the table and now with a real chance to build some momentum for the first time this season. The win came at a cost as Diogo Jota picked up a "serious calf injury".

Trent Alexander-Arnold was a surprise inclusion on the bench during Liverpool's win over City after the right-back recovered from an ankle picked up during the loss at Arsenal. Calvin Ramsay was in youth action last night against Accrington Stanley, coming on from the bench and scoring. But that means he is highly unlikely to feature this evening.

Jurgen Klopp will be left pondering who can fill the void left by the injured duo of Luis Diaz and Jota with both set to be out of action until after the World Cup. Fabio Carvalho could be the man to be given the chance to impress on the left of the forward line.

The Liverpool boss confirmed that midfielder Naby Keita is back in training, but will not be in contention for the visit of David Moyes' side. The midfielder is yet to make an appearance this season. Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip will still be absent.

Curtis Jones returned to the bench in the win over City and Klopp said: "Curtis was on the bench. It was clear we would not bring him on, we just had space. He is in training, looks really good in training but needs further training until he is really available. He could be a step closer now after two days. But he didn’t train yesterday so maybe half a step closer."

Goalkeepers: Adrian, Alisson, Caoimhin Kelleher.

Defenders : Andy Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Nat Phillips, Virgil van Dijk, Calvin Ramsay (played last night).

Midfielders : Fabinho, Fabio Carvalho, Harvey Elliott, James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara, Curtis Jones, Naby Keita (back in training but ruled out).

Forwards: Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino.

Sidelined: Arthur Melo (muscle issue), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (back in training after lengthy lay-off), Joel Matip (calf), Luis Diaz (knee), Ibrahima Konate (muscle injury), Diogo Jota (calf injury).
