Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table but dropped points for only the second time at Anfield this season after drawing on Leicester City on Wednesday night. Playing in snowy conditions after an 11-day break, Jurgen Klopp's ongoing defensive crisis saw him forced to field Jordan Henderson in an unfamiliar right-back role against the Foxes. However, a repeat is not likely when the Reds return to the field against West Ham United on Monday night with at least James Milner back in contention following suspension. See how we rated the players in Leicester City draw And with Liverpool's injury woes beginning to ease, these are the changes Klopp could make against Manuel Pellegrini's side. Who keeps their place? As we write every week Alisson obviously, as will Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson and the traditional front three barring any injuries. Gini Wijnaldum was one of the Reds' better performers against Leicester and is also likely to retain his place. Captain Henderson could also start - though in his preferred midfield position. Who could drop out? Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri both endured difficult nights against the Foxes and were replaced as Liverpool unsuccessfully pushed for a winner in the second half. The duo seem the most likely to drop out, while Joel Matip could also find himself out of the starting XI as the Reds' defensive woes lessen.

Trent Alexander-Arnold could be available for the trip to the London Stadium and return at right-back, otherwise Milner will be expected to take up the position. Meanwhile, Fabinho will almost certainly start after returning from injury against Leicester, while Dejan Lovren could also come in at the heart of defence.
