Liverpool will be hoping to close the gap on league leaders Manchester City when they welcome West Ham United to Anfield as part of this weekend’s Premier League TV schedule.

The hosts are six points back from Man City but they can halve that deficit on Saturday afternoon and pile the pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby.

Liverpool have a game in hand over City and still have to play them at the Etihad, so the title race is far from over.

The battle for the top four rages on as well and West Ham could go fourth with a win against the Reds – as both Manchester United and Arsenal play on Sunday.

The Hammers were well beaten by Southampton in the FA Cup on Wednesday evening as their lack of squad depth begins to show.

Our prediction: Liverpool v West Ham

Confidence is sky-high at Anfield right now and Jurgen Klopp’s side will be determined to make the most of their latest opportunity to close the gap on Man City.

West Ham’s three at the back system was exploited by Southampton in their midweek defeat so they may shift back to a 4-2-3-1 for the trip to the North West.

A lack of squad depth is starting to become an issue for the Hammers and if their hosts can go up through the gears quickly, then they will struggle to match them.

Our prediction: Liverpool 3-1 West Ham (11/1 at Bet365)
