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

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been handed a minor concern with Ryan Gravenberch ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham United at Anfield.

The Dutchman made his full debut for the Reds in Thursday's Europa League opener with LASK Linz but was evidently fatigued when he was forced off midway through the second half.

However, Klopp does not believed that Gravenberch was suffering from anything more serious than a bout of cramp, but the former Bayern Munich man will surely make the bench at best here.

Sunday's game is also expected to come too soon for both of Trent Alexander-Arnold (thigh) and Thiago Alcantara (hip) to make their returns, but Klopp will still be able to make an abundance of changes either way.

An entirely new-look XI took to the field against LASK Linz, including centre-back duo Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk - who has now completed a domestic ban - and both may be the only players to retain their spots in the starting team.

Caoimhin Kelleher will hand the gloves back over to Alisson Becker, while Joe Gomez and Andrew Robertson should come back in out wide for Stefan Bajcetic and Kostas Tsimikas.

As well as Gravenberch, Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott should also give up their places in midfield, allowing Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones to return.

Fresh from scoring a record-equalling 42nd European goal for Liverpool - the joint-most for an English team alongside Thierry Henry - Mohamed Salah will displace Ben Doak following the 17-year-old's first start for the Reds in midweek.

Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez both marked their returns to the first XI with a goal and assist at the Raiffeisen Arena, but the fresh legs of Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo may now be preferred up top.

Liverpool possible starting lineup: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Gakpo, Jota
