Two sides left reeling from damaging derby defeats face off on Saturday, as West Ham host Liverpool at the London Stadium.
Liverpool's grand goodbye for outgoing boss Jürgen Klopp has unraveled over the past two weeks. The Reds' exit from the Europa League at the hands of Atalanta was followed by their challenge for the English Premier League title being derailed after losing away to Merseyside rivals Everton on Wednesday.
West Ham find themselves in a similar position. After also crashing out of the Europa League at the quarterfinal stage, the Hammers suffered a stinging 5-2 defeat in their capital city clash with Crystal Palace. That result has upended their hopes of European qualification for next term, and also appears to have prompted the club to interview replacements for boss David Moyes, with the Scottish manager's reign looking in danger of ending on a sour note.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.
Jürgen Klopp has seen his Liverpool side's title challenge flounder after recent defeats to Crystal Palace and Everton.

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
