West Ham striker Marko Arnautovic could face Liverpool on Monday after scans revealed he suffered only bruising to his right foot in the 3-0 defeat to Wolves.

Arnautovic, who was named in the starting line-up for the first time since signing a contract extension with the Hammers, was caught by the follow-through of Ruben Neves' clearance in the 72nd minute.

He attempted to continue, but appeared to be struggling to put any weight on his right leg and was eventually replaced by Javier Hernandez.
