Liverpoolvs.West Ham

sportsmole.co.uk, 10 April 2025, 06:00
Shell-shocked from their first Premier League away loss of the season, Liverpool have parity to restore when they welcome West Ham United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.

The Reds suffered just their second top-flight defeat of the Arne Slot era at a fired-up Fulham in gameweek 31, going down 3-2 to Marco Silva's side at Craven Cottage despite taking the lead through an Alexis Mac Allister stunner.

However, that unforeseen setback should not precede a calamitous title collapse, as the champions-elect still have a healthy 11-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table with just seven games remaining.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Irons, who took a point off European-chasing Bournemouth in a 2-2 draw last week.

Alisson Becker

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Head

Possible return date: April 13 (vs. West Ham)

Alisson Becker was again absent from the Fulham defeat due to concussion - somewhat surprisingly given more than two weeks have passed since he sustained the injury while playing for Brazil - but he will have surely made a full recovery in time for Sunday's game.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: April 27 (vs. Tottenham Hotspur)

Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to spend another couple of weeks on the sidelines with the ankle injury he sustained in the Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain, but he should return for a final few appearances before jetting off to Real Madrid.

Joe Gomez

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: May 4 (vs. Chelsea)

Alexander-Arnold's fellow full-back Joe Gomez is also expected to be back from his hamstring operation before the end of the season, but he will not be available for another few weeks yet.

Tyler Morton

Status: Out

Type of injury: Shoulder

Possible return date: Unknown

Fledgling midfielder Tyler Morton has been sidelined since early February with a shoulder injury, and there is still no indication of when he might be back in action.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
