# West Ham Could Be Without Top Goalscorer Against ‘Title Challengers’ Liverpool
The upcoming Premier League match between Liverpool and West Ham United is set to be an exciting one, with both teams coming off of successful comebacks in Europe. However, West Ham could be without one of their top goalscorers for the match, with David Moyes casting doubt over the availability of Jarrod Bowen.
## Jurgen Klopp and David Moyes Make Changes for Europe
Jurgen Klopp made 11 changes to his team on Thursday and David Moyes nine as both Liverpool and West Ham needed to muster a comeback in Europe. Liverpool scored three second-half goals to inflict defeat on LASK, while the Hammers did the same against Backa Topola – resulting in respective 3-1 wins.
However, while the Reds had the earlier kick-off and travelled to Austria, West Ham hosted a later kick-off, leaving less than 66 hours between the last whistle in Europe and the first at Anfield. This could be a factor in the availability of Jarrod Bowen, with Moyes saying in his press conference: “Jarrod Bowen has had a virus, so we’ll need to see how he is.”
## Jarrod Bowen’s Availability in Doubt for Liverpool Match
Bowen has scored three and assisted one this season, and while Moyes cast doubt over his availability for the match, it is still expected that he will play his part at Anfield. Aaron Cresswell also felt his hamstring during the match against Backa Topola, so his availability will need to be monitored as well.
Jurgen Klopp will not hold a pre-match press conference and offer his own squad update, but Moyes talked up the challenge that awaits the Hammers in his on Friday. “They can challenge for the title,” Moyes said of the Reds. “People say we’ve made a good start to the season, but Liverpool definitely have as well.”
Moyes even made sure to note: “I finished above Liverpool a couple of times as Everton manager and got a few good draws too” – though he didn’t mention the 24 defeats.
## Exciting Match Ahead Despite Potential Absences
The upcoming match between Liverpool and West Ham United is sure to be an exciting one, despite potential absences from both teams. Liverpool have been in good form this season and are looking like title contenders, while West Ham have also had a strong start to the season.
It remains to be seen if Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell will be available for the match, but regardless of their availability, it is sure to be an exciting match between two teams looking to continue their good form.
