Liverpool are desperately searching for respite in the Premier League this Sunday at West Ham United as they seek to recover from three straight defeats.
The Reds suffered complete and utter humiliation once again on Wednesday night as they were beaten 4–1 by PSV Eindhoven on home soil, exacerbating their woes after three-goal defeats to Nottingham Forest and Manchester City previously. They now find themselves languishing in 12th and 13th in the Premier League and Champions League respectively.
A staggering nine defeats from 12 matches has heaped enormous pressure on Arne Slot, who has been completely unable to remedy Liverpool’s defensive disorganisation and attacking profligacy. The Dutchman has led the Reds into crisis.
Things could get even worse this weekend as Liverpool visit the resurgent Hammers. They have won their last two matches at the London Stadium and are unbeaten in three league games as Nuno Espírito Santo leaves his mark. They exited the relegation zone last weekend with their draw at Bournemouth, although they will be ruing the surrender of a two-goal advantage.
The silver lining for Liverpool is their impeccable record against West Ham. They have scored five goals against them on three separate occasions over the past two years, losing just one of the previous 20 meetings between the sides.
Here is guide to a crucial clash for Liverpool.
