Kudus Dropped: West Ham Predicted Lineup vs Liverpool For September 24

How West Ham Have Lined Up Recently

Alphonso Areola has locked down his spot as the first-choice goalkeeper ahead of the experienced Lukas Fabianski. Club captain Kurt Zouma operates in the back line, usually paired in the centre with the physically imposing Nayef Aguerd with former Chelsea teammate Emerson operating as the left back.

Edson Alvarez has been a mainstay in the defensive midfield spot with either Tomas Soucek or James Ward-Prowse playing next to him. Jarrod Bowen has been in fine form operating on the wings with experienced striker Michail Antonio leading the line.

West Ham Recent Form & Tactics

Moyes has stuck with a pretty simple 4-2-3-1 setup for his squad with Antonio often being deployed to lead the counter or hold the ball up for his teammates to join the action. Defensively, this has been solid and they’ve hit a purple patch in front of goal, scoring 12 in their last five games.

The Hammers have had a surprisingly strong start to the season, sitting in 6th place heading into matchday six with only a defeat to Manchester City denting their record.

West Ham Injuries to Consider

Per Premierinjuries, the London-based side are one of the lucky ones who have no injuries to worry about.

West Ham Predicted Lineup

After rotating for a European tie in midweek we’re likely to see some changes as the team reverts to the same eleven that tried to combat City, which means Mohammed Kudus will likely be dropped despite scoring in midweek.
