Joe Gomez is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury in Liverpool's 5-0 win over West Ham. The first-half injury to the versatile defender, who has deputised brilliantly in the absence of Ibrahima Konate, was the only blemish on a perfect night for the Reds in London.

Goals from Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota sent Arne Slot's side eight points clear at the top of the Premier League on Sunday night. Title rivals Chelsea and Arsenal are yet to play this gameweek, while unlikely challengers Nottingham Forest climbed up to second in the division with a 2-0 win over Everton.

Slot was understandably thrilled with his team's complete display, with the only negative being the injury to Gomez, which he revealed will sideline him 'for quite a bit'. 'You saw today an injury of Joe Gomez. If a player says he wants to stop, he has to be changed,' the Dutchman told Sky Sports. 'In a sprint, then we all know it’s a hamstring and we all know it’s going take a while before he is back.
