The Dutchman will be missing Dominik Szoboszlai for the trip to London to play Julen Lopetegui's team after the Hungarian picked up his fifth booking of the season in the 3-1 victory over Leicester City in midweek.

With Manchester United on the horizon at Anfield next week, Ryan Gravenberch and Darwin Nunez are both sat on four yellow cards and will need to avoid picking up another caution against the Hammers to prevent themselves having to serve a one-match ban against the Red Devils.
