Liverpool's defensive woes have been a matter of wide spread media comment, Sunday's visitors to the London Stadium are currently without ANY established centre backs in their squad, captain Jordan Henderson has filled in admirably for them, however fans from both sides are of the opinion that Michail Antonio, Angello Ogbonna, Craig Dawson and of course 'Mr Potato Salad' himself, Tomas Soucek, will be a 'difficult' proposition to deal with for any back line, let alone one that is down to the bare bones!

Ahead of Sunday's clash with West Ham at the London Stadium, visitors Liverpool find themselves bereft of 'proper' centre backs, the situation is so acute that Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that the League Champions are looking for a short term loan to help plug the gap until their influential players return to fitness.

Jesse Lingard's arrival on loan from Manchester United has raised many eyebrows among Hammers fans with many questioning the wisdom of expensively acquiring another midfielder, albeit a very talented one, as opposed to addressing the need for a back up striker to work alongside or in place of Michail Antonio and his dodgy hamstrings.
