Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Ham United

Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Liverpool will be looking to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 Premier League campaign at home to West Ham United on Saturday.

The Reds are currently second in the Premier League table, having collected 13 points from their first six matches of the season.

Jurgen Klopp's side beat Sheffield United 2-1 in the league last weekend, while they also recorded a 2-0 victory over FC Midtjylland in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with West Ham, who have held Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City to draws in their last two matches.
