Liverpool v West Ham Team News: Salah, Mane, Firmino All Start, As Evra Makes Debut
14:09, 24 Feb 2018

Liverpool can move into second place in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon, if they can beat West Ham United at Anfield in the 3:00pm kick-off, and Jurgen Klopp has named a strong side for the clash with the Hammers, as Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will all start for the Reds, who can leapfrog Manchester United with three points.

The Merseysiders were comfortable 2-0 winners over Southampton in their last league match, and in their last competitive match trounced Porto 5-0 in their Champions League last-16 game, and Klopp will be eager to continue their fine recent form, and the attacking triumvirate of Salah, Mane and Firmino will all be aiming to get on the scoresheet in today's match.

Emre Can and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be two of the focal points in midfield, while Virgil Van Dijk will be amongst the back-line for the home side, who will be warm favourites for the match.

David Moyes' West Ham United side maybe in 12th position, but they are only four points above the relegation zone, and the Scottish boss will hand Patrice Evra his first start in a Hammers shirt, as the veteran make his hotly-anticipated return to the Premier League, while Marko Arnautovic will be one of the main attacking threats for the Hammers, who beat Watford 2-0 in their last Premier League tie, and will be looking to put more distance between them and the teams in the relegation zone, but they will be up against a Liverpool side that are scoring for fun of late.
