West Ham team news for Premier League clash v Liverpool
David Moyes has given the latest West Ham injury news ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool tomorrow (March 5).
Tomas Soucek remains a doubt after the gash suffered on his face at St. Mary’s required stitches.
Andriy Yarmolenko will not travel to Anfield with the team amid the ongoing Ukrainian conflict.
The Hammers boss also delivered updates on Ryan Fredericks and Arthur Masuaku in defence.
He told football.london: “Like everybody we have a few injuries and some coming back,” he told his pre-match press conference on Friday.
“Ryan Fredericks is a bit better and so is Arthur [Masuaku]. We have a concern about [Tomas] Soucek because of the stitches.”
Tough game
Going to Anfield is difficult at the best of times. That is even before you consider the form the Reds are in and what they are fighting for in terms of the Premier League title.
However, this West Ham team should take great confidence from the win they enjoyed last time out against Liverpool.
The Irons ran riot that day at the London Stadium and didn’t give any of their players a minute to think, let alone play their football.
Moyes should be reminding the players that it is possible and set the team up in the same way.
Of course, it will be a very different game to the one at home, but they are there for the taking if West Ham get it right.
Soucek will be a huge miss in midfield if the cut keeps him out of the clash which is quite worrying. Especially when considering how important the midfield battle in this game will be.
