Premier LeagueLiverpool v West Ham United: Team news

Arne Slot confirmed on Friday that Alisson has been cleared to play after sitting out the last two matches.

The goalkeeper had been complying with concussion protocols following the collision he was involved in while representing Brazil last month.

Bradley, meanwhile, returned from a six-week injury lay-off last Sunday when he came on midway through the second half of the Reds' defeat at Fulham.

Asked whether that cameo and a full week of training puts the Northern Irishman in contention of a starting berth, Slot told reporters: "Yes, it does.

"Of course it's a boost, it's always a boost when quality players come back. Especially quality players in that position, because I think Curtis Jones is a quality player but it's not his favourite position.

"So to have a player in his favourite position is always – not always – but might be better for the team. And Conor has done so well for us this season, just like Trent [Alexander-Arnold]. But when Trent then isn't there, you always hope to look behind you and see that Conor is available."

Slot will continue to be without Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez for the 2pm BST kick-off at Anfield.

But Virgil van Dijk, who has started Liverpool's last 64 Premier League games, is in line to captain the club for the 100th occasion in the top flight.

The Hammers have no fresh fitness concerns ahead of their trip to Merseyside, remaining unable to call upon Michail Antonio, Aaron Cresswell and Crysencio Summerville.

Forward Niclas Fullkrug has had his condition monitored in the build-up to the contest but is expected to be fit.

"No major issues from the previous match," head coach Graham Potter said. "It will pretty much be the similar squad, I think.

"Fullkrug has a little bit of not fatigue but [we are] just making sure he's OK after the weekend. He's trained with the team [on Friday], so hopefully there's no reaction and he'll be in the squad for the weekend. Apart from that, we're as we were."

On facing the league leaders, Potter continued: "We have to make sure we're resilient, make sure we're the best version of ourselves. Because if we are then we'll be competitive and that's the most important thing. Then it's about whether we can play well and then from there points will come."
