Lindop: Liverpool 'shellshocked' by recent results (1:26)

Beth Lindop talks about Arne Slot's position at Liverpool amid the club's run of poor form following their 4-1 defeat to PSV in the Champions League. (1:26)

Liverpool's next stop in their bid to get themselves out of a mega crisis takes them to the London Stadium on Sunday evening, for a Premier League clash against West Ham United.

Arne Slot will hope to alleviate some of the pressure on his side with a first Premier League win since early November. In midweek, Liverpool had no respite in the Champions League, as they were swept aside 4-1 Dutch side PSV Eindhoven at Anfield on Wednesday.

Liverpool have lost six of their last seven league games and are 12th in the table with 18 points from 12 games.

Last weekend, Liverpool went down 3-0 for the second successive league game, as Nottingham Forest eased past them at Anfield, after Manchester City won 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium before the international break.

For Slot, the questions around tactics and personnel are only getting louder, and as it stands, he hasn't showed any signs of having found solutions to get Liverpool out of this hole.

Alexander Isak hasn't got going at all, with Liverpool struggling to get him involved in games when he has played. Isak might have to start this game, though, after Hugo Ekitike suffered a back injury in that defeat to PSV. Slot said the Frenchman's injury wasn't serious, but he remains in doubt.

Meanwhile, after a slow start to their season, West Ham have picked up seven points from their last three Premier League games, with new manager Nuno imprinting his style on the side.

Last week, they went 2-0 up against Bournemouth but were eventually pegged back by two second half goals and had to take home a 2-2 draw. Callum Wilson seems to have hit a run of form, with three goals in those last three games.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's match.
