West Hamvs.Liverpool

sportsmole.co.uk, 27 December 2024, 10:44
Still going from strength to strength under Arne Slot's wing, Liverpool round off 2024 on Sunday evening with a Premier League trip to West Ham United.

The Reds had to do it the hard way against Leicester City on Boxing Day, but they ultimately emerged victorious by a 3-1 scoreline on a momentous day for Mohamed Salah.

Thanks to Chelsea also slipping up at home to Fulham, Liverpool have maintained their unassailable advantage at the summit of the Premier League table and will enter 2025 looking down on the other 19 teams in the division.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with West Ham, who subjected Southampton to a 1-0 defeat on Thursday.

Ibrahima Konate

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)

Ibrahima Konate hurt his knee in the Champions League win over Real Madrid at the end of last month, and as he is only partially back in team training, he will not be ready to make his return on Sunday.

Conor Bradley

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)

Similarly, Conor Bradley sustained a hamstring problem against the reigning European champions a few weeks ago, but the right-back might be fit to return against Manchester United at the start of January.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Dominik Szoboszlai

Return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)

Just three minutes after coming off the bench against Leicester, Dominik Szoboszlai was booked for the fifth time in the Premier League season, and he will serve a one-match ban on Sunday.

Friday's Premier League predictions including Arsenal vs. Ipswich
Brighton vs. Brentford (Friday, 7.30pm) Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Brentford to the Amex in one of two games being played after Boxing Day in the Premier League. Both are in poor form after brilliant starts put them in European contention, with just one win between them in their last five each. We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-2 Brentford Brentford's dreadful away form in comparison to stunning home results has been one of the most peculiar phenomenons this season, but with the quality at their disposal, there is no reason they cannot get anything here.
