Jurgen Klopp’s side will travel to London with a depleted squad.

The Reds will be looking to bounce back from the midweek nightmare in the Merseyside Derby; Everton won 2-0 at Goodison Park.

Speaking in his press conference, Klopp said: "Progressing well, [but] not ready and nobody told me yet [Jota and Bradley] will start training in the next few days. I think it will take time, a little bit."

Cody Gakpo is set to return to the fold after missing the Everton match due to the birth of his son.

West Ham fans will be praying starman Jarrod Bowen is fit to feature. 

"Jarrod Bowen is back training, so there is a good chance he will be available," Hammers boss David Moyes told reporters. "We will still have to monitor him up until kick-off to see how he is, but hopefully Jarrod is back and fit.

"We've got a couple of issues with our centre-backs. Nayef won't be available as he's not ready yet.

"Dinos [Mavropanos] has got a chance, so we will need to see how he is, but again it's pretty tight and is a quick turnaround in regard to the game being played at lunchtime. Hopefully, they will be fine."

West Ham have a lot to play for themselves, the Hammers sit two points behind Newcastle who occupy seventh place which would see them qualify for the UEFA Conference League next term. West Ham have played one game more than the Magpies.
