Liverpool heads into a crucial Premier League clash in a state of crisis, preparing to battle West Ham United at the London Stadium. Manager Arne Slot remains under intense scrutiny as he searches for his first league win since early November. With six defeats in their last seven league games, Liverpool sits 12th on the table with 18 points from 12 matches—a position unfamiliar and deeply unsettling for the club.

Their midweek Champions League outing only deepened concerns, as they suffered a heavy 4–1 home defeat to Dutch side PSV Eindhoven. This setback came immediately after back-to-back 3–0 league losses to Nottingham Forest and Manchester City. Liverpool’s current form nine defeats in their last 12 matches across all competitions, including three straight losses by three or more goals marks their worst run in over 70 years.

Tactical questions surrounding Slot are mounting. Former defender Jamie Carragher has voiced his frustration, saying Slot’s position could soon become “untenable” while also suggesting that Mohamed Salah’s physical sharpness is fading. Nevertheless, Slot has vowed to fight on after meeting with club executives, insisting that the team must refocus on the few positive moments in recent performances to rebuild momentum.

Liverpool’s squad situation adds to the turmoil. Alexander Isak has struggled to settle, yet may still be pushed into a starting role due to Hugo Ekitike’s back injury, which Slot insists is not serious. Other key players including Giovanni Leoni (knee), Florian Wirtz (muscle), Conor Bradley (muscle), and Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) remain unavailable or doubtful, with return dates still uncertain. Fans tracking updates continue to rely on platforms like Sky Sports for injury news and match analysis.

Meanwhile, West Ham United enters the fixture with contrasting confidence under new manager Nuno. The Hammers have collected seven points from their last three Premier League outings. Last weekend’s 2–2 draw with Bournemouth felt more like a missed opportunity after leading 2–0, but Callum Wilson’s resurgence with three goals in his last three games has been a bright spark. West Ham, however, still faces injury concerns with Konstantinos Mavropanos (hamstring) and Oliver Scarles (shoulder) listed as doubts.

The match kicks off on Sunday, November 30, at 2:05 p.m. GMT (9:05 a.m. ET; 7:35 p.m. IST; 1:05 a.m. AEDT, Monday) at the London Stadium. Darren England will officiate, with Paul Tierney overseeing VAR duties. Fans can watch via Sky Sports in the U.K., NBC Sports in the U.S., JioStar in India, and Stan Sport in Australia.

Expected lineups show West Ham in a 3-4-3: Alphonse Areola; Jean-Clair Todibo, Igor Julio, Max Kilman; Aaron Wan-Bissaka; Lucas Paquetá, Freddie Potts; El Hadji Malick Diouf; Jarrod Bowen, Callum Wilson, Crysencio Summerville. Liverpool are expected to deploy a 4-3-3: Alisson Becker; Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister; Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo.

One important statistic highlights the unpredictability of this match: West Ham has won just one of their last 18 Premier League meetings with Liverpool. Yet Liverpool has lost each of their last five away league games against London opponents. Wilson’s resurgence, three goals in two league matches, matching his haul from the previous 36 appearances—adds another layer of intrigue to a fixture that promises tension, urgency, and high drama for both sides.
