West Ham – the shape of the team and its analysis: the decline started at the worst possible time
“The Hammers” had a good season. Still, now the situation is completely different. Speaking about the Europa League, the English club lost to Bayer without much chance: a 0-2 score in Germany and a 1-1 draw at the home arena. At the same time, it lost in the Premier League, winning only 1 time in 7 previous confrontations – that happened in the game against Wolverhampton, which simply ends the season. As for the last rounds, the team consistently lost to the neighbours, Fulham (0-2) and Crystal Palace. It is possible that the rumours about Moyes’s resignation in the summer are influencing the performance – Sarri and especially Ruben Amorim are being called to take his position.
Liverpool – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club had to constantly cut back on ambitions in the spring
“The Reds” started the final stretch of the season with the idea of seeing off Klopp with a quadruple win. Still, they have only exhausted the League Cup, defeating Chelsea in extra time. At the same time, the team knocked out Manchester United from the FA Cup and Atalanta from the Europa League, and also lost to the Italians at the home arena in this European tournament – 0-3. Moreover, there were misfires in the Premier League, which cost the club the lead. Finally, just on Wednesday evening, there was a derby with Everton – less than three days passed after it and then there will be an away match in the capital of England.
West Ham: team news
Bowen, a key scorer with 15 goals, will not participate. Also, Earthy and, possibly, Aguerd and Mavropanos will not play.
Liverpool: team news
Klopp will have to do without at least Alcantara, Matip and Bradley, and the participation of several others, like Jota, is under question.
