On the left of the attack, I wouldn't mind seeing Carvalho at all, but this also seems like a good opportunity to get Núñez into the team, without disrupting the form duo of Salah and Firmino. In midfield and attack, it is worth considering a midfield trio of Henderson, Fabinho and Thiago — rather than benching one of them — behind an offensive trident of Salah, Núñez and Firmino. Alexander-Arnold will hopefully be fit enough to start, allowing Milner to benefit from a rest after his fine display against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. Klopp has a dilemma on his hands this week, with Jota and Díaz picking up injuries in recent games. The latter can operate through the middle, with Salah cutting inside from the right and Núñez doing the same from the left.

Liverpool host West Ham at Anfield buoyant from their big win against Manchester City which promises to reignite their season.

The USMNT winger did enough to get an assist but fellow sub Carney Chukwuemeka and his mates couldn’t supply the dagger. Newcastle had been buzzing along in attack until last week, when the scoreless draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford showed the strength of its defense. This will be controversial in some circles (Liverpool circles, really), but Kieran Trippier is playing better than any healthy English fullback in the Premier League right now. That Guimares bought into the project at all is impressive, but Newcastle will find it difficult to resist overtures for the Brazilian international if they can’t fast-forward their European ambitions.

Henderson and Thiago were a force in the holding midfield role as this new Liverpool 4-2-3-1 is working quite well. Disjointed West Ham pay the penalty: Aside from a few minutes at the end of each half, this was a pretty turgid Hammers display. West Ham remain on 11 points.

HALFTIME: West Ham have a late corner but it comes to nothing and, thanks to Alisson and Nunez, Liverpool go in with a one-goal lead. Alisson keeps Liverpool in front as a desperate stop with his knees thwarts Soucek from close range after the ball had fallen to the West Ham man following a scramble. But the confidence with which he took his headed goal and then hammered the post with a left-footed effort from distance shortly after showed he is going to be a major threat going forward. 0 With Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz sidelined until after the World Cup, Nunez is going to have to give up on any ideas of a gentle introduction to life at Liverpool. 1

But it was not to be — and in truth, the new deal for the Egyptian in the summer might have been the last nail in the coffin of any potential transfer move. Having already missed his penalty, the evening out at Anfield was really not going to plan for Bowen. Predictably, it flew harmlessly over the top, and relieved a rare moment of West Ham pressure. The work-rate and willingness to put in the defensive graft is a side of his game not previously seen to this extent. Tsimikas certainly seems to have earned the faith of Klopp — and with yet another assist in the bag, it is not hard to see why. The side that have been perennially top of the Fair Play table since Klopp came in appear to have found their mean streak. And while the decision to award West Ham a penalty gave But the delays caused by complaints from both Alisson and Thiago may well have got in the head of Bowen. There was one comical moment where he and Tsimikas seemed to get in a mix-up, which looked rather like the Uruguayan drunkenly confronting his reflection in a mirror. Even Andy Robertson, the man for whom he was deputising, would be proud of such a record. At right-back and centre-forward respectively, they don’t tend to occupy the same areas of the field, and everyone can get by on context. It required a double-take to realise it was not, in fact, Tsimikas.

Nunez quiets critics, helps carry Liverpool past West Ham (ESPN)

Darwin Nunez scored once, and had another effort crash off the woodwork, as Liverpool held on to a narrow 1-0 win over West Ham on Wednesday.

The centre-back also transitioned play well with passes out towards [Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah). [Roberto Firmino](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/147234/Roberto-Firmino) and [Curtis Jones](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/190257/Curtis-Jones) had the best chances of the second half for Liverpool, who should have done better with their opportunities from promising areas. They were nearly made to rue their missed chances when [Said Benrahma](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194543/Saïd-Benrahma) got past [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) in the final minutes of the game, only for his cut-back to be anticipated by [James Milner](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/26843/James-Milner) who produced an excellent goal-saving challenge. The striker came close to doubling Liverpool's advantage before the break with a volley that smashed against the post from outside of the box. Drew a strong save from [Nottingham Forest](/soccer/team?id=393) by withdrawing key players close to the hour mark. He also linked well with Tsimikas when timing balls down the left channel. GK Alisson, 8 -- A crucial penalty save close to half-time ensured Liverpool went in at the break with the lead. Unlucky not to get an assist when picking out Roberto Firmino inside the box just after the hour mark. The [Uruguay](/soccer/team?id=212) international came close to earning a brace with a spectacular volley from outside the box that cannoned back off the woodwork. A penalty from a challenge that Gomez didn't need to make could have tipped the game back into the balance. Klopp also saw his side look resolute at the back, amid recent highlighted defensive problems.
