**West Ham United have made three changes and a change in formation from the 2-2 draw vs Bournemouth for the team to face Liverpool this afternoon.**
To many Hammers fans’ relief, Maximilian Kilman has finally been dropped from the starting lineup and replaced with the returning Konstantinos Mavropanos.
The Greek International coming back will be a huge boost for Nuno, with him on the right and Todibo in what seems to be his stronger side on the left could actually be a great partnership.
Unfortunately, Crysencio Summerville hasn’t made the squad due to injury. But instead opting for Luis Guilherme again, Nuno has decided to add an extra midfielder in Soungoutou Magassa.
This means the Frenchman will probably go into a midfield three with Potts and Fernandes. While Lucas Paquetá, who has replaced Igor in the starting lineup will likely play a hybrid left wing/number 10 role. This means Bowen will likely be playing in a hybrid right wing/striker role.
This team has all the promising signs to be a good team display from West Ham this afternoon. However, even though Liverpool are well off form, this is a huge game for them and manager Arne Slot, so they will be coming to the London Stadium all guns blazing.
