Both managers face major challenges attempting to work out their likely opponent’s starting eleven: [Liverpool](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-vs-liverpool-preview-team-news-predicted-line-ups/) have big injury problems following their Champions league misadventure midweek and West Ham have players still officially on tej sick list but whom may or may not take part in the home fixture at 2.05pm.
So attempting to predict Nuno’s West Ham starters- our weekly stab at second guessing the Portugese head coach – revolves largely around the fitness of **Crysencio Summerville.** Missing last week from the Bournemouth game with what was loosely described as a ‘knock’, West Ham’s winger was absent from training ground media shared in the week and Nuno described both he and Mavropanos as ‘getting better’.
Without Summerville, West Ham have the options of another Luis Guilherme opportunity on the left, Lucas Paquetá starting wider something left-field (literally) such as a first George Earthy start for West Ham under Nuno.
Which – at a best guess- would make the starting eleven to face Liverpool: 4-3-3 (Hopefully- not our ‘ideal eleven’ but best guess of Nuno’s choice:
**Areola | Wan Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf | Potts Fernandes Soucek | Paqueta Wilson Bowen (c)**
Scores:
Gonzo 3-1 West Ham
Sean 1 – 0 Hammers win
Matt 2 – 0 Liverpool win
Martin 0 – 0 Both managers would settle for that!
