Liverpool's title hopes are in tatters following the damaging 2-0 loss against Everton in the Merseyside Derby, but they'll continue to fight until the Premier League champions are crowned, whether it be the Reds, Manchester City or Arsenal.
Jurgen Klopp's side face a West Ham outfit who are on a fairly wretched run of form.
There is speculation that manager David Moyes will lead at the end of the current campaign.
Current Form
West Ham's current form
The Hammers have won just one game out of their last eight in all competitions and that came against Wolves in the Premier League,
They were recently eliminated from the Europa League by German champions Leverkusen and last time out they were demolished 5-2 away at Crystal Palace.
Finding the back of the net has become a real problem recently as they've scored just five goals in five games.
Liverpool's current form
It isn't outrageous to say that Liverpool were bullied and battered in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday and the Reds have now lost three out of their last five in all competitions, including that surprise defeat against Atalanta in the Europa League.
Confidence isn't at a high point for Klopp's men, but surely the players will be eager to give their manager a good send-off before he departs at the end of the season...?
West Ham vs Liverpool Team News
Jarrod Bowen has been struggling with a back injury that has had him in and out of the team recently. He had to have an injection to play against Leverkusen but then missed the loss against Palace. With a week free without a game, he should be okay to play.
The fitness of Konstantinos Mavropanos and Nayef Aguerd will be assessed before kick-off after they picked up slight issues recently.
As for Liverpool, it is likely Jurgen Klopp will make changes to his side after the defeat against Everton.
Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Ben Doak are all long-term absentees, but Diogo Jota will probably be available again after missing the Everton loss.
Key player - West Ham
It is touch and go whether Bowen will be fit, and in his absence, West Ham will be heavily reliant on Mohammed Kudus, who has actually been linked with a move to Liverpool recently.
Key player - Liverpool
Mohamed Salah has just one goal in his last five games, but he remains Liverpool's most potent threat.
Scoreline Prediction
Both teams are coming off hugely demoralising results so confidence is low in both camps.
