The Hammers did everything they could, but they couldn't hand Bayer their first defeat in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, only managing a 1-1 draw at home. Moreover, the equalizer for the "Apothecaries" came late in the match. It seems that focusing all their efforts on European competitions, West Ham couldn't regroup for the Premier League match against Crystal Palace. In any case, the final 2-5 defeat indicates just that. Consequently, the Hammers, who not long ago were in contention for European spots, are drifting further away from the sixth position, currently held by Manchester United. They are now five points behind, having lost their last two Premier League matches and three out of the last five.Jurgen Klopp's side seems to be slipping out of the title race. After a derby defeat to Everton with a score of 0-2, their chances of catching up with Manchester City are dwindling. Overall, Liverpool has only managed one win in their last four league matches, suffering two defeats in this stretch. Importantly, these losses didn't come against top teams but against Crystal Palace and Everton. The defeat to their neighbors from Everton particularly seems demoralizing and damaging to their pride. Liverpool trails Arsenal by only three points. However, the most crucial point is that Manchester City is only one point ahead, with two games in hand.
