Lopetegui provides West Ham squad update and confirms player will start

Liverpool fans are hoping for victory against West Ham United but given that it’s a League Cup fixture, it’s hard to know what each team will look like for the match.

Speaking with the press, Julen Lopetegui reported: “All of the squad have to be ready. I’m not going to tell you the line-up, but Lukasz Fabianski will play.”

It will remain to be seen how both new coaches decide to tackle the domestic cup competition but Arne Slot will be hoping whoever he decides to field has enough to secure victory.

Fingers crossed that’s how the game pans out and then we can begin our defence of the trophy in the best way possible.

The early indications coming out of the club are that Federico Chiesa could make his full debut for us this evening.

The Italian international has been slowly integrated into the first-team setup following his summer move away from Italian giants Juventus.

The 26-year-old had been handed limited opportunities under the Old Lady’s new head coach, Thiago Motta – a point Arne Slot more than alluded to in his pre-match presser (liverpoolfc.com).
