Whether a loss would be enough to seal the fate of either Moyes or Lampard, is uncertain, but it does not really feel unlikely. Strangely, it could be the case that West Ham lose today, Moyes is sacked soon after and then he replaces Lampard at Everton in very short order. Indeed, Telegraph Sport reported on the same earlier this year: West Ham have already been deliberating over short-term and long-term replacements while agonising over the future of Moyes. But there is now a growing feeling that their hand will be forced by another defeat and that Moyes will be sacked.
Meanwhile in Orlando… Chelsea and Liverpool fans had very different reactions to Chelsea’s scoring chance. 😅 #MyPLMorning | #LIVCHE📺 @peacock pic. com/w006juDR2V — NBC Sports Soccer (@NBCSportsSoccer) January 21, 2023CLOSE! From a tight angle Lewis Hall flashes an effort across goal after Mason Mount had a glorious chance to shoot, but instead decided to play it wide to Hall. Chelsea looking slicker on the ball. Liverpool and Chelsea are both going long with the ball trying to catch out the shaky defensive units.
Moyes's opposite number, Frank Lampard, managed to get Everton across the line and ensure their survival when he took over but things have been on a downward spiral since then. They too have taken a single point in their last six games. Perhaps, though, things are not quite as bad as they seem in context. A win for either side would move them two points away from relegation and there are plenty of other sides in the mix, with two points separating the bottom seven, it is a tight part of the table. Still, the situation is looking dire for both men and the patience of the higher-ups at their club is not endless.

Still, not a great half for either side who are really struggling for confidence. It is all getting a bit scrappy before the break. Liverpool having a bit more joy building attacks but Chelsea snapping into tackles. Mohamed Salah with a swing and a miss and Thiago Alcantara’s deflected shot is easily saved. That spell basically sums up the game so far. Very frantic with not a lot of quality. SAVE! Great chance for Chelsea to take the lead as Benoit Badiashile heads towards goal but Alisson saves well. It is all Chelsea. Liverpool can’t get out of their own half.
