Liverpool’s top four ambitions come under scrutiny in Sunday’s next encounter, as Jurgen Klopp’s charges make their way to the London Stadium to face a buoyant West Ham United.
Boosted by last Friday’s 1-0 victory over London rivals Spurs, Slaven Bilic’s side will provide a stern test of Liverpool’s credentials; the Hammers have kept three successive clean sheets heading into this match.
The Reds will surely look to Philippe Coutinho for inspiration.
The Brazilian is comfortably the top owned asset on show in this afternoon kick-off, with the midfielder still part of 18.8% of squads.
He has suffered from significant recent sales, however: more than 221,000 managers have moved Coutinho out of their squads over the previous two Gameweeks. A modest 14-point return over his last four Gameweeks, featuring just a single goal, proved damaging.
Coutinho’s profit from this match is likely to have the main impact on our Gameweeks, then, with only minor interest elsewhere.
Roberto Firmino – part of 10.5% of squads – misses out, while Daniel Sturridge earns a rare start, his first since Gameweek 20.

With me chasing a 25 point gap, need to take a risk but who?
No relegation battle and top 4 could be settled before sunday.
