West Ham will entertain a completely out of sorts Liverpool side on Sunday in front of the Sky Sports cameras. The hosts are three matches unbeaten as they continue to move away from the relegation zone.
Arne Slot is in the firing line after yet another huge loss midweek in the Champions League - but can he turn it around before it's too late? Our Premier League ootball tipster Nathan Joyes provides his best bet.
After a turbulent start to the season, West Ham have rather enjoyed themselves in November, and the Hammers will look to sign off the month with yet another win.
Having beaten both Newcastle and Burnley at home, Nuno Santo's side headed to the south coast to face Bournemouth. West Ham led 2-0 at the break, but a second half collapse saw them come away with a point.
Still, there are clear signs of improvement across the pitch and ahead of a tough run of fixtures, confidence has been restored at just the right time.
If West Ham are able to beat Liverpool at the London Stadium on Sunday, it will be the first time they have won three Premier League home games since 2022.
November hasn't been much fun for West Ham's visitors. Although it started with wins against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, those victories are a distant memory now for Slot.
Liverpool's 4-1 defeat midweek against PSV saw them fall to their third straight defeat. More alarming is the fact they have conceded 10 goals in those matches collectively, scoring just once.
This hasn't happened since 1953 - and it's safe to say the team are in crisis mode at present. And having lost their last five matches in London, it won't get any easier this weekend with little time to rectify tactical changes in training.
Currently sat in 12th place, Liverpool could find themselves just four points from the bottom three if they fall to defeat and Leeds pick up three points.
The good news for Liverpool fans is that their record over West Ham in recent years has been solid. Last season, Liverpool won 5-0 at the London Stadium, extending their unbeaten run over their London opponents to nine. West Ham haven't beaten Liverpool since 2021.
It would take a brave man to back Liverpool at this moment in time, and against a resurgent West Ham side, Slot could find himself in real trouble. Nathan Joyes has dived into the Premier League odds and pulled out his best bet.
West Ham (10/3 with Betfred) would most likely have been double the price at the start of November, but a combination of improved performances and Liverpool's drop off gives them a fighting chance.
West Ham have scored eight Premier League goals in their last three matches - and while that has been a huge improvement, they have also conceded five. With just one clean sheet this season, West Ham can't be trusted to shut out anyone at the moment.
Liverpool (4/5 with Betano) are an intriguing price - purely because they are never close to evens to beat West Ham. But you could offer me x2 the odds and I wouldn't want to part with my cash.
Instead, it's best to look at the goals angle. Both defences are all over the place at present, but the hosts have shown enough to suggest they can carry on scoring. Liverpool may not win, but three blanks from their last four would be quite something - especially with how much attacking talent they have at their disposal.
