MIGHT PLAY: Emi Buendia (hip)
“Phil’s [Coutinho] fine. He got a bit of cramp in a few different areas, I’m sure he’ll be fine with a couple of recovery days. Emi’s [Buendia] slightly different because he has had some contact. He had a big whack in his hip area which is really sore. We’re hoping with some treatment and some good recovery [then] maybe he’s got an outside chance. At the moment, he’s a serious doubt.” – Steven Gerrard
BRENTFORD
RULED OUT: Christian Eriksen (match fitness), Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen (hamstring)

MIGHT PLAY: Cheikhou Kouyate (AFCON)

MIGHT PLAY: Ismaila Sarr (AFCON), Peter Etebo (thigh)
AVAILABLE: Rob Elliot (unspecified)
“I can’t say [if he will be available for Saturday]. I haven’t even met him yet, to be honest.

The second thing will be to have an assessment alongside him as to where he is and how he’s feeling.” – Roy Hodgson on Ismaila Sarr
WEST HAM UNITED
RULED OUT: Angelo Ogbonna (knee), Arthur Masuaku (knee)
