Liverpool will aim for a return to winning ways when they travel to London to take on West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday (April 27).
The Reds’ title chances took a massive hit when they lost 2-0 to Everton in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday (April 24). It was an embarrassing performance from Jürgen Klopp’s side filled with missed chances and unforced errors.
The defeat now leaves Liverpool three points behind league leaders Arsenal and a point behind Manchester City who have two games in hand.
It’s been a sad end to Liverpool’s season which is most likely to end with a Carabao Cup triumph and Champions League qualification which is a disappointment considering that the Reds were in all four competitions as recently as last month.
It’s been a poor run of form for over a month for Klopp’s side who have just one win in their last four league games, including defeats to both Everton and Crystal Palace.
It’ll be a battle of struggling sides at the London Stadium on Saturday given West Ham are on a two-match losing streak including a whopping 5-2 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace.
With pressure rising on Hammers boss David Moyes, he’ll need a big performance and result against an out-of-form Liverpool side who face a tricky remaining four games of the season with Jürgen Klopp’s successful reign at Anfield coming to an end this season.
LFC Globe Verdict
Liverpool no longer have the title in their hands and essence have nothing to lose for the next four games of the season.
Travelling to West Ham will allow Liverpool to exact their humiliating defeat to Everton with an impressive and passionate performance at the London Stadium which would mathematically secure their qualification for the Champions League next season.
