Liverpool could make seven changes against West Ham as Jurgen Klopp ready to wield axe
Liverpool's hopes of sending Jurgen Klopp off as a Premier League champion appear to be over after dire defeat to Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.
The Reds posted one of their worst performances of the season to lose 2-0 and suffer their first loss at Goodison in approaching 14 years.
Liverpool now turn their attentions to their remaining Premier League games with the trip to West Ham United on Saturday. And here we look ahead to the changes Jurgen Klopp could make when his team are next in action.

Konate question
The title challenge may effectively be over but Liverpool still need to make sure of a top-four finish, although only Tottenham Hotspur, who are 14 points adrift and have six games left to play, can now knock them out of the Champions League qualification berths.
And Liverpool will need a response to the derby disappointment in Klopp's penultimate away game in charge, which will likely call for a whole host of changes.
That, though, is unlikely to be in goal, where Alisson Becker is ahead of Caoimhin Kelleher and Adrian. But it was notable both Joe Gomez and Kostas Tsimikas were introduced late on for right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold and left-back Andy Robertson respectively, and will be vying for a start. Conor Bradley, another right-back, is injured.
A poor performance from Ibrahima Konate puts him at risk of being replaced by Jarell Quansah at centre-back, with Virgil van Dijk likely to continue in the starting line-up. Gomez is another option, but Joel Matip is out for the season.
