When West Ham United visits Anfield on Sunday, Liverpool will resume their Premier League schedule.
When Liverpool welcomes West Ham United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon, Virgil van Dijk will be eligible for Premier League selection.
The Dutchman was dismissed during the match against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on August 27 and has since missed the Reds’ two Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa.
For his ill-advised challenge on Magpies forward Alexander Isak in the North East last month, Van Dijk was previously scheduled to serve a one-match suspension. However, the defender’s impassioned tirade following his ejection got him into more trouble with the Football Association.
Van Dijk participated in Liverpool’s 3-1 Europa League triumph over Austrian Bundesliga side LASK Linz on Thursday, despite not playing in the Premier League since August 27.

When Liverpool hosts West Ham United on Sunday, they hope to extend their winning streak to six games. Harvey Elliott thinks that “this season feels different” for a new-look Liverpool.
At the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz, Elliott played the entire match as the Reds defeated LASK 3-1 to extend their unbeaten streak, which had began in April, to 17 games.
Jurgen Klopp has talked highly of “Liverpool 2.0” who are in “year one” of their growth, despite the fact that four players were added to the squad to replace the up to six first-team players who left in the summer.
Elliott said he and his teammates are trying to be as helpful as possible while Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo continue the early phases of their Anfield careers. Elliott concurs with his manager’s assessment.
