Crisis-hit Liverpool travel to a resurgent West Ham side on Sunday with Arne Slot amazingly fighting for his job just six months after lifting the Premier League title.
The Reds are in the midst of their worst run of form since 1953 having lost a staggering nine of their last 12 games in all competitions and six in seven in the league, leaving them in the bottom half and with next to no chance of retaining their crown.
Back-to-back heavy home losses to Nottingham Forest and PSV Eindhoven ramped up the pressure on Slot who seems to have no answer to the ever-growing list of issues at the club.
West Ham are no strangers to crisis having started this season very poorly amid fan protests against the club's ownership. Nuno Espirito Santo has steadied the ship of late with seven points from the last three games including rare consecutive wins at the London Stadium.
Can he make it three in a row and pile more misery onto Liverpool or will the Reds find respite? AllSportsPeople brings you the latest tips and predictions for this match.
West Ham vs. Liverpool preview: Who will win?
West Ham have not won three league games in a row at home since October 2022 but will be confident of doing so against the beleaguered Reds. Arne Slot's side have lost their last five league games in London too so the omens are all leaning towards a home win.
We're backing the Reds to stop the rot but not start a revival.

West Ham vs. Liverpool Final Score Prediction
Liverpool have not drawn a game in all competitions this season if we are excluding the Community Shield. In the league, they are the only club not to share the spoils yet with six wins and six draws so far. We'll tip them to end that run here, not that it will do much to lift the spirits on Merseyside.
