Julen lopetegui

English Premier League: Three decisive matches this weekend -- one of them the biggest derby in London -- will go a long way toward deciding this season's Premier League title, and perhaps also the scramble to avoid relegation. The first game is on Saturday lunchtime when Jurgen Klopp's tired Liverpool side travels to face West Ham at the London Stadium.

Liverpool travel to east London after a derby defeat to Everton on Wednesday dealt a massive blow to their title hopes, leaving them third in the table, two points behind Manchester City and three behind Arsenal, with City having a game in hand. Klopp's side again lacked energy at Goodison Park, and with less than 72 hours to prepare, it's hard to see how it can recover physically against a side that is going to look to test it from set pieces - as Everton did.

The good news for Liverpool is that West Ham are also exhausted after their run to the Europa League quarterfinals, with the club surrounded by rumours that Julen Lopetegui is being lined up to replace David Moyes as coach at the end of the season.
