Nathaniel Phillips makes Premier League debut for Liverpool against West Ham
With makeshift centre-back Fabinho out and Joel Matip still injured, Nathaniel Phillips starts alongside Joe Gomez for Liverpool.
Nathaniel Phillips has been handed his Premier League debut for Liverpool as they take on West Ham at Anfield.
With makeshift centre-back Fabinho out and Joel Matip still injured, the 23-year-old has been drafted in ahead of fellow academy defender Rhys Williams.
Youngster Curtis Jones is also given another opportunity in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum.
Elsewhere, Klopp's team has a more familiar feel, with the favoured front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all back in. None of the trio started the Champions League win over Midtjylland on Tuesday, though they did feature off the bench.
West Ham, meanwhile, start Sebastien Haller up top in the absence of the injured Michail Antonio.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games against West Ham, who have lost 21 of their 24 away matches against the reigning league champions in previous seasons.
