Klopp, vetted by super West Ham

Liverpool of Jürgen Klopp, champion of the Premier, stopped his fall with a victory last Thursday at the home of Tottenham of José Mourinho (1-3), but added a new loss in his defense (Joel Matip) and this Sunday he visits the West Ham, revelation in the championship and that, until the victory of the 'reds' against Spurs, was 4th, in the Champions zone.

Klopp, who admitted on Friday he is looking for a defender down the stretch of this winter market after Joel Matip's new injury against the Spurs. he can line up the converted captain Jordan Henderson and Nat Phillips or Rhys Williams on the back axis. David Moyes' team has won 6 games in a row (4 in Premier, 2 in FA Cup).

West Ham, which a year ago struggled to get away from relegation, is now 5th in the Premier table, 2 points behind Liverpool itself, 4th and that by beating Spurs ended a streak of 5 consecutive games without beating in the English championship, which cost him to go from being leader to occupying said fourth place.

Before defeating Tottenham the 'reds' were even out of the Champions zone. Liverpool host Pep Guardiola's Manchester City on 7 February, who is now in the lead and has 7 points more than the English champions. his great rival in recent years.

Liverpool took a breath by beating Mourinho's men on Thursday, but this visit to West Ham (which has accumulated victories) will be an examination that will serve to see if the crisis is really moving away from the 'red' team. Klopp will line up his trident, except for surprise, Mohamed Salah (who is still a top scorer in the Premier, with 13 goals), Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané, all brilliant against Tottenham.
