Liverpool have faced a massive blow as Henderson is out for three weeks due to a hamstring injury. However, it has opened up a spot for the likes of Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Milner.

Right now, Keita seems the favorite to start against West Ham as he has produced some really good performances and is able to link up well with the forwards.

However, it won’t be much of a surprise if Oxlade-Chamberlain is preferred. The England international has netted seven goals this season and did pretty well in the matches he started and always looks better playing in the middle as opposed to being on the wing.

The likes of Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum have been in pretty good form and will be starting against West Ham. Fabinho is coming back from his injury problems and will need these next few games to build up towards the Atletico game.

Wijnaldum has been getting some stick for how he’s performed recently but he’s a key player. The Dutchman is brilliant positionally and has excellent game awareness, but can go quiet. But still, Klopp will pick him.
