Liverpool return to action for a midweek Carabao Cup clash against Premier League foe West Ham United.
The Reds managed a 3–0 win last time out at home against Bournemouth. Darwin Núñez scored for the first time in the 2024–25 campaign while Luis Díaz bagged a brace to lift Liverpool to second place in the Premier League table.
Liverpool is the current holder of the Carabao Cup after its 1–0 triumph over Chelsea in extra time back in February. It was Jürgen Klopp's last trophy in charge of Liverpool with aims of retaining it under new head coach Arne Slot.
As Alisson's availability for the match is up in the air due to a muscle injury, Caoimhin Kelleher could start in goal for the second straight match. Slot will likely stick with his preferred 4–2–3–1 setup, with players such as Cody Gakpo, Jarell Quansah and Diogo Jota expected to return to the lineup after not starting at the weekend.
