West Ham are ready to damage Liverpool's top-four dream just days after ending Tottenham's title hopes, warns Jose Fonte

West Ham left Tottenham's title hopes in tatters with a shock 1-0 win last week and Jose Fonte says they have now set their sights on derailing Liverpool's top-four bid. 

West Ham did the double over Liverpool last season before drawing 2-2 at Anfield in December and Fonte revealed the team are going all out to continue their run against the Merseyside club.

'We have a massive game against Liverpool and we want to finish in the top 10, so we have got to win those two games. It's another big game on Sunday and we want to replicate what we did against Tottenham,' Fonte told the club's official website.

West Ham are currently 12th in the Premier League table but have the same number of points (42) as both Southampton (10th) and Bournemouth (11th), though Southampton have played two fewer games. 

Fonte also said that manager Slaven Bilic's switch to a 3-4-2-1 system suited the team as they recorded four clean sheets in their last five league matches.

'We have found a good system and we've been excellent in the last four games, so I'm pleased, because as a defender it's good to keep clean sheets,' Fonte said.

'The three points are always more important, but the clean sheet matters to me.'

Manager Jurgen Klopp said: 'It’s not perfect, but it keeps us still on track and that’s the most important information. 

'Everybody wished that we’d do it, us included, but now it’s like this, we take this and work hard again and prepare ourselves for West Ham.

'It won’t be an easy trip, we know that. We try it again and then we’ll see at the end.'
