By Adam Brown (@AdamMNVi)West Ham are up next for Liverpool as David Moyes returns to Anfield after securing a point against Manchester City. The Reds, who have now won three straight, will be keen to build on a run of form which could be pivotal with the Premier League still in the balance.Jurgen Klopp’s centre-back options were lightened once more as Fabinho was forced off in midweek. Rhys Williams came on and looked assured against Midtjylland – the young defender will be called upon more frequently as uncertainty looms over the availability of Joel Matip.Thiago could return against the Hammers from a knock which the midfielder picked up against Everton. “Thiago is desperate to make the next steps, but whether he is available tomorrow we will have to see,” Klopp hinted at the press conference.

Here’s how we should line up:One change to the back four sees Rhys Williams start. It’s unclear whether Matip is fit; it seems like the Cameroonian is close and could feature, but Liverpool are keeping their cards close to their chest.A midfield of Henderson, Wijnaldum and Thiago should dominate. Of course, the inclusion of Thiago is dependent on the former Bayern Munich man’s fitness. Klopp’s comments in the press conference suggest that he could be involved and it’s a midfield trio which would be exciting to watch. Total football.The main front three return in a 4-3-3 setup with Jota the most likely option off the bench. Liverpool’s latest recruit has consistently produced so far and shined alongside Xherdan Shaqiri in midweek.The Hammers will look to frustrate the Reds on Halloween but it’s Klopp’s side who should secure all three points. Alisson looks to have settled the back four and the potential return of Thiago is a puzzle which parking the bus doesn’t solve. Liverpool can now begin their title charge. Score prediction: Liverpool 3 – 0 West Ham  How does Paul think Liverpool will line up? Check out the Starting XI Prediction Show below!
