Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez have been dropped by Jurgen Klopp for Liverpool’s visit to West Ham.
The two strikers have scored three goals between them in Liverpool’s last seven Premier League games and have been criticized for their waste in front of goal.
Klopp made the move after both were criticized for their performances in the 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat to Everton on Wednesday.
Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo come into the squad and start in the front three alongside Luis Diaz, who retains his place after the midweek defeat.
Jarell Quansah moves into defense while Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo move into midfield, while Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai lose their places.
There is also a return to the bench for young midfielder Stefan Bajcetic, who has not played for the first team since September.
