Since March 7, across all competitions, West Ham United have won just twice, and only once against an English opponent. That is eight matches in total, and along the way, they got knocked out of Europa League. And entering the weekend clash with Liverpool FC, it looks like they won’t be returning to the UEL next season.
The Irons are fading fast from the top six. Of course, we’re not sure what to expect from their opponents on Saturday.
