Facing intense pressure, Arne Slot's struggling Liverpool the reigning Premier League champions will visit the London Stadium to face a revitalized West Ham United.
The Hammers, rejuvenated under Nuno Espirito Santo with two recent wins and a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, host a Reds side whose shocking form continued with a 4-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven after last Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest.
The Premier League match between West Ham United VS Liverpool, scheduled for 07:35 PM IST in India, will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network channels on television.
For live streaming, fans can watch the game on the Disney+ Hotstar application and website, though a subscription is required to access the content.
The Hammers will host Liverpool at the London Stadium, where they have won back-to-back matches prior to this weekend.
Liverpool would typically be the undeniable favourites for this fixture, but after losing nine of their last 12 matches across all competitions, there are no guarantees to be had when it comes to the Reds at the moment.
Slot and his players will be desperate for a first Premier League victory since their 2-0 triumph over Aston Villa back on November 1, but they will need to shore up a defence that has conceded 10 goals in their last three games first.
Meanwhile, West Ham will be full of confidence following their immediate and continuing improvement under Nuno that has seen them score eight times during his three matches in charge.
The Hammers were unlucky to drop two points against Bournemouth last weekend considering that they were 2-0 up at half time, and the manager is sure to emphasise that his side have a serious chance at another win if they can remain solid at the back.
With that in mind, as well as the fact that Liverpool have lost five of their last six away outings, Slot's nightmare could get worse on Sunday with a fourth defeat on the bounce.
Prediction: 1/0 (Liverpool)
