Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo have dropped possible team news hints ahead of Sunday's showdown with West Ham United.

The Dutch duo posted to their respective social media accounts in the build-up to the encounter at Anfield with the Reds looking to move 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Arne Slot's side will be looking to avenge their defeat away at Fulham last Sunday, after the Cottagers inflicted a second league defeat of the season for Liverpool.

Three first-half mistakes were punished by the London club which meant that the Reds failed to capitalise on Arsenal's slip-up at Everton.

The Gunners failed to pick up another win on Saturday with Yoan Wissa cancelling out Thomas Partey's second-half opener.

A win for Arsenal would have reduced their deficit to the Reds to single digits but the point means that Liverpool are 10 points clear going into their clash against the Hammers.

Both Gravenberch and Gakpo posted generic matchday graphics to their social media platforms as standard among professional footballers.

But of course, this could just be someone running their accounts for them, posting regardless of whether they are going to be involved or not - but it can often be a hint players are set to feature in the matchday squad, too.

The pair started in the defeat at Craven Cottage seven days ago and following the defeat, Slot faced questions over whether his side had become jaded from being overused.

Gravenberch, as well as Dominik Szoboszlai, are among the players that Liverpool supporters have expressed concern for after the quantity of energy that they have exuded during an exhausting season across four competitions at Anfield.

"There's always a lot of attention around Liverpool," Slot said last weekend.

"That doesn't start now, that's been there the whole season.

"Of course, people want to make stories but for me it's all about playing Fulham.

"They're a good team, and if you then make three errors it's going to be very difficult to win the game against them.

"In general, we are not making many of these errors, let alone three in one game.

Today, we also had (Ibrahima) Konate losing the ball too.

"The second half was so much better than the first, but it's hard to win a game of football at this level if you concede three goals like this.

"You could feel that we were creating a lot of chances, we've had a few but unfortunately we lacked time in the end to score the third goal.

"That has to do with us conceding three goals, because to score three in an away game is very hard especially against a good team like Fulham."

But speaking ahead of the visit from Graham Potter's side, Slot offered little by way of an inkling over squad changes despite promising cameos off the bench from Luis Diaz, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa.

The Dutchman revealed that Alisson Becker will return to the fold, after missing the last two fixtures for Liverpool due to concussion protocols.
