Now, Klopp must get another strong performance out of the injury-hit squad, as West Ham arrive on Merseyside.
David Moyes overcame a poor start to the Premier League season. The Hammers lost three straight games and failed to score a goal in their opening three matches.
Results have improved for the Londoners, and they go into Wednesday’s game unbeaten in three straight matches. West Ham came from behind to draw with Southampton away on Sunday.
Liverpool took 11 points from their last six Premier League games. They scored 17 goals and conceded seven times across the last six games. The Reds are unbeaten at home this season with 11 points from 15 possible at Anfield.
West Ham picked up eight points from the last six games in the Premier League. They scored eight goals and conceded six times to their last six opponents. The Hammers have not played well on the road in 2022-23.
West Ham are winless in three straight away games in the league. Just one of their five road games this season ended as a win. The Hammers picked up four points from 15 points on offer on the road.
Klopp was sent off against Man City at the weekend and won’t be on the sidelines. Pep Lijnders will take charge of the squad.
Injuries remain a big problem for Liverpool. Luis Diaz has a knee injury, Joel Matip has a calf/ankle problem, and Diogo Jota has a hamstring injury. All three important players will miss the game.
Centre-back Ibrahima Konate is a major doubt to make the squad. Midfielders Arthur, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Naby Keita are all on the sidelines with injuries as well.
Moyes is without defender Nayef Aguerd but could have defenders Kurt Zouma and Craig Dawson available. Forward Maxwel Cornet is a major doubt to make the trip to Merseyside.
West Ham traditionally struggle at Anfield. The Hammers won just one of 26 Premier League matches against Liverpool on Merseyside. They scored just 14 goals in their 26 previous matches at Anfield.
Liverpool should pick up a 2-1 win at full-time and potentially move closer to the top four. Thirteen of 97 Premier League matches this season finished as 2-1 wins for the home team. It is the most common scoreline in the league after 10 matchdays.
