Liverpool preview: Left it late against the Hammers
Liverpool took the lead at home against West Ham in the 18th minute through Luis Diaz but a late equaliser looked like it was going to ruin the day.
Substitute Andrew Robertson put through his own goal in the 86th minute but the captain Virgil van Dijk spared his teammates' blushes by scoring three minutes later and taking Liverpool another step closer to the Premier League title. Since his Premier League debut in September 2015, Van Dijk has scored more goals than any other central defender (24).
Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold look set to miss the trip to the Midlands on Sunday through injury.
Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), van Dijk, Tsimikas, Konate, Bradley, Jones, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Jota & Díaz

Player to watch: Luis Diaz
Luis Diaz is enjoying his best season in front of goal since joining Liverpool from Porto in 2022.
The Colombian international has scored 11 times in 31 Premier League appearances this season, with his previous best being eight, which he achieved in the 2023/24 campaign.
Diaz has 17 goal involvements in the Premier League this season
Diaz has now scored four times in his last five outings for club and country, so don't be surprised if he adds to his impressive goal tally this weekend against the Foxes.
