Liverpool<\/a> will be looking to boost their Champions League<\/a> qualification hopes with a win over West Ham<\/a> at Anfield this afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Reds head into the weekend action sitting sixth in the Premier League<\/a> table \u2013 level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea<\/a> and three adrift of fourth-placed Manchester United<\/a>. With things so tight in the race for Champions League qualification, Liverpool know they can\u2019t afford any slip-ups at home to the Hammers today.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot has made one change from the side that started during the 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest last time out with Joe Gomez coming into the defence. That allows Dominic Szoboszlai to move into a more familiar midfield role meaning Curtis Jones drops out.<\/p>\n

Alisson Becker keeps goal once again while Ibrahima Konate partners Virgil van Dijk in the middle of Liverpool\u2019s defence. Milos Kerkez is selected ahead of Andrew Robertson at left-back once again.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gravenberch starts in the holding role for Liverpool with Alexis Mac Allister keeping his place in the middle of the park. Mohamed Salah<\/a> lines-up on the right wing with Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike making-up the front three.<\/p>\n

As for West Ham, Aaron Wan-Bissaka starts at right-back while Kostas Mavropanos and Axel Disasi are partnered in the back four. Tomas Soucek starts in midfield while Mateus Fernandes also keeps his place.<\/p>\n

Jarrad Bowen and Crysencio Summerville support Valentin Castellanos in the West Ham attack this afternoon. Callum Wilson, therefore, is named among the substitutes along with Adama Traor\u00e9 and Mohamadou Kante.<\/p>\n

Here are the confirmed line-ups:<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/h2>\n

Alisson, Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo.<\/p>\n

Subs: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson, Frimpong, Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha.<\/p>\n
