Liverpool
Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino remains out of action due to his muscular problem, but Thiago Alcantara may be ready to return from his hamstring injury against Inter Milan in the Champions League next week.
Curtis Jones is also a slight doubt after feeling a twinge in his thigh during the FA Cup victory over Norwich, but Klopp ought to make changes in abundance after giving the majority of his EFL Cup-winning starting XI rests in midweek.
Jordan Henderson was able to complete 60 minutes on Wednesday after starting at Wembley and may be required again with Naby Keita also touch and go for the game, while Joel Matip is out due to illness.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Mane, Diaz
West Ham United
Meanwhile, West Ham lynchpin Tomas Soucek required stitches after an elbow from Ibrahima Diallo in Wednesday's loss to Southampton, but at this stage there is nothing to suggest that the Czech midfielder will not be involved at Anfield.
Vladimir Coufal, Ryan Fredericks, Arthur Masuaku and Angelo Ogbonna make up four defensive absentees for West Ham, while Ukraine's Andriy Yarmolenko has taken some time off amid Russia's invasion of his homeland.
Moyes is unlikely to make many alterations from the St Mary's defeat, but Aaron Cresswell should be fit to return over Issa Diop, and Said Benrahma will push for a recall in the final third.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Fabianski; Johnson, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Rice, Soucek; Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals; Antonio
Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 West Ham United
