A report has made a worrying claim about what Jurgen Klopp has in store for West Ham after the German’s Liverpool plan pays off perfectly.

West Ham head to Anfield on Saturday evening to take on the daunting task of title challengers Liverpool.

The Hammers won the reverse fixture 3-2 back in November.

But David Moyes’s side have struggled for any kind of top form or consistency since having lost key man Angelo Ogbonna that day.

While West Ham’s shallow squad is fading, Liverpool seem to be getting stronger with every passing game.

It is a huge match for both Liverpool’s title ambitions and West Ham’s hopes of a European spot.

West Ham’s near full strength side was beaten by Southampton in midweek so Klopp will not be unduly worried about the Hammers whereas Moyes will be looking – and hoping – for even the slightest advantages.

Report makes worrying claim about what Jurgen Klopp has in store for West Ham after Liverpool plan pays off perfectly

Unfortunately for the Scot, a report has made a claim about what Klopp has in store for West Ham after his Liverpool plan pays off perfectly and it is ominous for the east Londoners.

That’s because Klopp will have nearly a completely fully fit SQUAD – not just team – to pick from on Saturday evening.

Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones are the only injury doubts for Liverpool against West Ham according to a report from One Football.

That’s after Klopp’s plan to rest all his key players against Norwich in the FA Cup paid off with the Reds advancing to the quarter-finals.

One Football also claims Liverpool will have their absolute strongest XI lining up against West Ham.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip were all rested and will come back in.

Thee of these four will start in midfield for Liverpool against West Ham; Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Harvey Elliott and Naby Keita.

And up top Liverpool are set to recall their big guns with Mohamed Salah coming back into the side after being given the night off on Wednesday. Sadio Mane should also start after being a substitute against Norwich.

Diogo Jota will hope to keep his place but Luis Diaz – the man Moyes admits he came close to signing before Liverpool swooped – could be recalled after making a hugely impressive start to life on Merseyside following his January move.

Liverpool have a fully fit bench to pick from with a quality back-up player available for every position.

It is a daunting task for West Ham. Stranger things have happened.

But as Moyes warned his players after Wednesday night, they will have to up their levels if they want to achieve anything this season.
