Liverpool – West Ham United: Carabao Cup news

The boss was also asked whether Trey Nyoni could play against West Ham, as the U21s are also in action in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy on Tuesday evening.

“Let's see how everyone arrives this morning and then we'll make a plan for each individual as to where they will play and if they will play,” he replied.

“From my current point of view, it would be quite possible that he would be in our squad and not just in the U21s, but it also depends on the fitness of all the other players.”

Harvey Elliott is currently out due to injury.

West Ham, on the other hand, has no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to Anfield and is currently testing the striker Niclas Fullkrug's potential to return.

“I think we will see today that Niclas Fullkrug is also feeling better,” head coach Julen Lopetegui told the media on Tuesday. “He trained yesterday and he will do the same today. Then we will see his level before tomorrow's game.”

Lopetegui, who confirmed Lukasz Fabianski will wear the goalkeeper gloves in this game, was also asked about his plans regarding the rotation in his team.

“We will try to be balanced so that we can do our best tomorrow,” he said. “We are focused on tomorrow's game – our first target now is Anfield and we have to focus 100 percent on that. The whole team has to be ready.”
