MatchLiverpool v West Ham United team news

Jones came off at half-time in the Emirates FA Cup victory over Norwich City in midweek after feeling discomfort in his thigh, with Keita missing out entirely.

Joel Matip is sidelined for the Anfield contest with the Hammers due to illness, while Thiago Alcantara (hamstring) and Roberto Firmino (muscle) remain unavailable.

Jürgen Klopp told a press conference on Friday: "I'm pretty sure that nobody will tell me differently because yesterday he didn't train, Thiago will not be available for tomorrow.

"Curtis is not bad but if it is good enough to go again tomorrow, I don't know.

"Joel Matip is ill – no COVID, nowadays you can be ill in different ways as well – so he will not be available.

"Naby was not in the squad on Wednesday. Bobby is looking good but not good enough for the weekend. I think the plan is that he trains on Sunday, first time. That sounds then doable for Tuesday."

For West Ham, Tomas Soucek is a doubt for the game, having required stitches for the facial injury he suffered in their FA Cup defeat at Southampton.

Ryan Fredericks (groin) and Arthur Masuaku (knee) could be in contention, though Ukrainian winger Andriy Yarmolenko will not make the trip to Merseyside.

"Like everybody, we've got a few injuries and a few players out, but we've also got some coming back as well hopefully," David Moyes said. "Ryan Fredericks is doing a bit better and so is Arthur. We've got some good news on that side.

"We've got a concern about Soucek because of his stitches in his head, so that's something we're concerned about.

"Andriy has been training, but he won't travel to Liverpool with us. I don't think he's quite ready and we want to give him every opportunity to do everything he can for his family and his country.

"I think he just feels a little bit bogged down with the whole situation at this present moment in time, so he won't travel with us to Liverpool."
