Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...
After the away victory, the Hammers will probably feel more secure, but they now have a significant test when Liverpool visits them this weekend.
With eight points from their past four league games, West Ham has made great progress in recent weeks.
To win anything against the Reds, who have been unbeatable this season, they will need to put on a spectacular display.
Team Lopetegui will pick vs Liverpool
In midweek, West Ham defeated Southampton, but it cost them dearly. After suffering a severe head injury in a collision with Nathan Wood, Lukasz Fabianski was taken away on a stretcher.
Prior to the second half, Carlos Soler and Max Kilman were both hurt, and it is uncertain if they will be able to return in time to play the Reds.
In the meantime, Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez will serve suspensions following their fifth yellow cards of the season.
Following his involvement in a horrific vehicle accident earlier this month, Michail Antonio has been sidelined for at least a year.
Lucas Paqueta will join Lopetegui, though, following his suspension against Southampton.
With Emerson and Aaron Wan-Bissaka playing on the flanks, the Spanish manager is anticipated to start Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jean Clair-Todibo in the center of defense.
It's likely that Edson Alvarez will play defensive midfield. The attack should be led by Niclas Fullkrug, with Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen acting as wide attackers.
Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Mavropanos, Todibo, Emerson, Alvarez, Bowen, Paqueta, Kudus, Summerville, and Fullkrug are the predicted starting lineup.
The 39-year-old was later verified by Lopetegui to be awake and conscious in the locker room, but it seems improbable that he will play in Sunday's home match.
Alphonse Areola will move back to the side to fill in between the sticks while Fabianski is away.
