Liverpool defender Joel Matip set to face West Ham after training with the Reds in Barcelona

Defender Joel Matip is set to give Liverpool a boost by being fit for Sunday's Premier League clash with West Ham at Anfield.

The 25-year-old has been the stand-out performer in the Reds' shaky back-line since joining the club from Schalke this summer.

Liverpool have only once conceded more than a single goal with the Cameroon international in the side and have not lost a game.
