Liverpool will seek a return to winning ways when West Ham visit Anfield on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s runaway Premier League leaders had their procession to the title interrupted by a 3-2 loss at Fulham last weekend and they have been shy of their best form for a few weeks.
That description could apply to West Ham over most of the season, whether under old boss Julen Lopetegui or current incumbent Graham Potter.
The Hammers are winless in four matches, a run that stretches back to February following their early exit from the FA Cup.
