Liverpool travels to face West Ham United this weekend, desperately needing a result to halt a disastrous run of form that has seen them lose nine of their last twelve games. Manager Arne Slot is under severe pressure as the club languishes in 13th place, their title defense hopes all but extinguished.
The squad is decimated by injuries, with several key players facing late fitness tests. Hugo Ekitike is a doubt with a back issue, while Alisson Becker and Florian Wirtz have returned to training and could feature. However, Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, and the season-long absentee Giovanni Leoni are definitively ruled out.
West Ham also has their own fitness concerns, with Oliver Scarles and Lukasz Fabianski confirmed absentees, while Crysencio Summerville and Konstantinos Mavropanos will require last-minute assessments ahead of the London Stadium showdown.
