Liverpool may be without three major attacking weapons when they face West Ham this weekend.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that both Sadio Mane and Adam Lallana will not be fit for tomorrow’s Champions League tie against Maribor or for the weekend clash against the Hammers.
Phillipe Coutinho also missed Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday, and Klopp revealed that he is again a doubt for the European game at Anfield tomorrow night. He was however optimistic he would return soon, although it is not known whether he will be fit enough to start versus West Ham.
Without any of those three in the side, West Ham fans should be more hopeful of their chances of winning against the Reds at the London Stadium, but going by some of the reaction on Twitter, the mood among supporters seems to be quite downbeat after the draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday:

They still have enough to trouble us though unfortunately, not that it takes much.

unless they missing from the Liverpool team because they signed for us then expect 0 points!

Can’t argue
Liverpool and Watford next can’t see many points from those two
Hope I am wrong!— hammerhead (@larryberyl) 31 October 2017
If we lose to Liverpool on Saturday Bilic should do the honourable thing, go.
