West Ham United vs LiverpoolPremier League, London Stadium, Saturday 27 April 2024, 12:30 BST
West Ham United will return to action at home to Liverpool on Saturday lunchtime, to bounce back and win after back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.
The Hammers are still in sight of the European standings, lately eighth in the table with 4 games to play in 2023/24, but they know that more than 3 problems here will be a blow to their chances.
Liverpool arrive in the capital on the back of two defeats in three top-flight games, most recently at the hands of local rivals Everton on Wednesday night, which has dented their hopes of beating Arsenal and Manchester City in the race for the league name.
The Reds are three separate from the Gunners at the top of the current table, and will also be looking to get the full percentage of the spoils at the London Stadium to help clinch the English crown in Jurgen Klopp’s latest crusade at the helm.

Joël Matip, Thiago Alcântara, Conor Bradley and Diogo Jota are all set to join Liverpool.
With just four games remaining in Jurgen Klopp’s reign, Liverpool are in a mad dash to add their second Premier League crown in five years to this season’s EFL Cup triumph, which came just a month after the manager’s decision to resign announced in January.
Klopp’s departure will mark the end of a memorable era in the red part of Merseyside, with the Stuttgart-based home side propelling the 19-time English champions into Europe’s elite after a long spell in the shadows.
Indeed, when the 56-year-old arrived at Anfield in October 2015, Liverpool were languishing in tenth place in the league table after three seasons without a trophy and just one UEFA Champions League campaign in five years. from the era of Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Kenny Dalglish and company.
A triumph in the 2011/12 League Cup that all the Reds had to exhibit for 8 seasons from a trophy-laden stage with Gerard Houllier and Rafael Benitez between 2000 and 2007, even if a top name in the league since 1990 was still painfully out of success and enthusiasts were bound to watch as Arsenal, Leeds, Manchester United, Blackburn, Chelsea, Manchester City and Leicester continually brought them into position.
Two finalists in Klopp’s first season in charge – in the EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League – proved to be a sign of things to come, and after a nerve-wracking Gareth Bale-inspired defeat to Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League. In the league final, Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur and became kings of the continent for the sixth time the following year.
FIFA Club World Cup honours followed, but the league remained the missing piece of the puzzle and the only gift of glory so desired by Liverpoolians around the world. Just as they had done against Madrid in the Champions League a season earlier, Liverpool fell at the last hurdle for the likely unstoppable Manchester City in 2018/19, despite just one defeat and a total of 97 points.
Beating Pep Guardiola’s serial winners Citizens was going to ask for something special, but Klopp and his Redmen weren’t going to be denied next time around. A 2019/20 run interrupted by COVID saw Liverpool add up two past numbers and climb to the most sensible point by an 18-point margin.
Klopp’s squad included world champions such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, as well as prodigies such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott, fused in a spirit that sees the six standout Americans remain key cogs at Liverpool. Roll today.
After winning the league trophy, Klopp’s men came close to achieving what would have been a historic quadruple in 2021/22: winning the FA and EFL Cups and completing a second-place finish in the league and Champions League, thanks to a single victory in the Community Shield. And fifth place last season was out of position.
Liverpool have inspired for much of 2023/24, and when Klopp announced his upcoming farewell, they were in contention for four trophies. They won the EFL Cup in extra time against Chelsea in February, but Manchester United and Atalanta have since ended. their hopes in the FA Cup and Europa League respectively.
That’s probably when the main target of the Reds’ biggest supporters, the Premier League, remains the key target. While Wednesday’s loss to Everton gave City and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal the edge, the race for the closest name will most likely be played to the end. .

Saturday’s match will be the 150th time West Ham United and Liverpool have met in competition.
This is a series of matches dating back to 1901, when the Hammers were beaten by the Reds 1-0 in a draw in the FA Cup mid-term.
In the Premier League, this is the 56th meeting between the two teams, and it’s no surprise to learn that Liverpool have fared better in the last 30 years, winning 35 games to West Ham’s ten, while there have also been ten draws.
In fact, the Hammers have won just one of their last 15 such matches, while in all competitions it is only one win in 16 matches.
Jurgen Klopp’s men triumphed on their last visit to the London stadium, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Joël Matip cancelling out Lucas Paqueta’s first goal almost exactly a year ago, but West Ham emerged victorious at home last season when Pablo Fornals and Kurt Zouma scored next. An own goal from Alisson secured a stunning 3-2 victory.
Liverpool have featured in some of the biggest fixtures in West Ham’s history, with the Merseysiders winning the 1980/81 League Cup final and the 2005/06 FA Cup, while the teams shared the 1964 FA Charity Shield after a 2-2 draw at Anfield. . .

The UEFA final. Europa League and, abroad, the 2021 UEFA Nations League final.
The 45-year-old also reacted when Denmark’s Christian Eriksen collapsed in his country’s Euro 2020 draw against Finland, and is credited with helping save the Manchester United midfielder’s life with his quick moves to call for medical attention.
A veteran with more than 700 appearances in all competitions, Taylor refereed his 35th appearance for West Ham United in Brighton.
