West Ham play host to Liverpool at the London Stadium this afternoon and it seems as though Sadio Mane could miss out for the Reds.

Jurgen Klopp’s side returned to form with an impressive win away at Tottenham on Thursday.
The Hammers will have their work cut-out against Liverpool today.
If David Moyes’s men win, however, we can leapfrog the Reds back inside the top four.
And perhaps this is the best chance we will have of beating Liverpool.
Klopp has a defensive injury crisis on his hands with Nat Phillips expected to partner Jordan Henderson in central defence this afternoon.
Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Fabinho are all out injured.
Liverpool to be without Sadio Mane against West Ham?
The Reds may well be missing another key man against the Hammers.
Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson dropped the Senegal international from his Fantasy Football team in favour of Tottenham ace Heung-Min Son, as outlined by the Daily Star.
The last time Robertson dropped Mane from his Premier League Fantasy Football team was in game week 10 when Liverpool faced Brighton. Coincidentally, Mane was dropped to the bench for that game (Daily Star).
The 28-year-old is a key man for the Reds. He has racked up 91 goals and 39 assists in 198 games for Liverpool since moving to Anfield in 2016 (Transfermarkt).
The former Southampton ace is vital to the way in which the Merseyside outfit attack with pace.
Perhaps he has picked up a knock? Or perhaps he is fit and ready to play.
Who knows? Robertson dropping his teammate from his fantasy team will certainly raise eyebrows though, that’s for sure.
And if Mane doesn’t play, West Ham will get another huge lift before kick-off.
