Dominik Szoboszlai Suspended for West Ham Match

Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai will miss the upcoming Premier League match against West Ham United due to a one-match suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card during the Boxing Day victory over Leicester City. This accumulation of bookings triggers an automatic ban, which Szoboszlai will serve while Arne Slot's team looks to maintain their lead at the top of the league. Curtis Jones, who performed well in the last match, is expected to start in the attacking midfield role in Szoboszlai's absence. Additional squad adjustments may include the potential demotion of Darwin Nunez in favor of Diogo Jota, as Slot aims to optimize player rotation during the busy festive schedule. Liverpool has extended its lead to seven points, following Chelsea's loss, and will be looking to capitalize on their current form against West Ham.
