Team news

West Ham
Jack Wilshere (groin), Andrei Yarmolenko (thigh) and Felipe Anderson (back) are sidelined and Lukasz Fabianksi (thigh) and Robert Snodgrass (knee) face late fitness tests.

Liverpool
Sadio Mane (hamstring) joins Nathaniel Clyne (knee) on the sidelines. Naby Keita (groin) returned to the bench at Shrewsbury and James Milner (muscle strain) and Xherdan Shaqiri (calf) are doubts.

Match preview

A weakened Liverpool team had an off-day in their FA Cup draw at Shrewsbury but most of their big guns will return to face West Ham, giving them a strong chance of posting a 15th consecutive Premier League victory.

The title race is effectively over but Liverpool are unlikely to lose focus until they are mathematically certain of lifting the trophy.

Sadio Mane's injury is a blow for the leaders but they should grind out a low-scoring success over West Ham, who lost 1-0 at home to a largely second-string West Brom team on Saturday.

Key stat

Liverpool have won 31 of their last 32 league games.
