Liverpool's Premier League title chase is in tatters, but the Reds will look to close the season out strong for their departing manager as they visit West Ham with an early Saturday kickoff.

Defeat in the Merseyside derby left Liverpool chasing both Arsenal and Man City at the top of the table, and with only four games remaining, their opportunities to make up that gap are minimal. Thus, the remaining schedule will primarily be about playing for Jurgen Klopp, who is leaving the club at the end of the season.

The German boss has become a club legend during his time in charge of the Reds, and honouring him with a strong finish to the campaign, even if they fall short of the title, will be important to the players in this squad, many of whom would not have enjoyed the prolific careers they possess without him at the helm.

West Ham, meanwhile, have floundered down the stretch as well, mired in a stretch of four straight games without a win, including their two adverse results against German buzzsaw Bayer Leverkusen which saw them crash out of the Europa League, plus a pair of multi-goal league defeats to Fulham and Crystal Palace. They sit eighth in the league table, still very much in the mix for a return to European competition next season but needing to act fast to avoid falling out of contention.

Liverpool look exhausted to conclude the season, and are falling short of expectations on both ends of the pitch against inferior opponents, but they remain a strong team capable of pummeling opponents on a regular basis.
