West Ham - Liverpool (Saturday 11:30 GMT)

Preview:

West Ham welcome a bruised Liverpool to east London this Saturday needing a reaction of their own. The Hammers were miserable in defeat to Crystal Palace last time out to hand their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season a big blow. Liverpool in midweek lost Jurgen Klopp’s final Merseyside derby to all but end their Premier League title ambitions, which any further dropped points at the London Stadium will surely fully extinguish. Liverpool need to pick themselves up and get a result to keep any faint hope of a title win alive. Klopp will have his players in no doubt over what’s at stake, despite the disappointment of midweek.

West Ham were dead on their feet from the off against Crystal Palace and, with David Moyes potentially heading out, you fear for a repeat performance lacking in drive. West Ham were three goals down inside the opening 20 minutes and then conceded a fourth in the 31st minute against a clinical Eagles outfit, who added a fifth through Jean-Philippe Mateta just after the hour mark to condemn the Hammers to their 12th league defeat of the season. Victory is of the essence for both of these out-of-form clubs as they attempt to enhance their hopes of achieving their respective targets this season, but it will be Liverpool who enter Saturday's contest as favorites considering their recent record over West Ham.
