West Ham
The season started very difficult at West Ham, but since the departure of Dimitri Payet to Olympique Marseille goes wonderfully better with The Hammers. The team has been knocked in the top ten and occupies the ninth place. It’s all around the tenth place very close together, so there could be just any change in its position in the ranking.
Last weekend West Ham got very little resistance from Southampton. The match was eventually won 1-3 thanks to goals from Andy Carroll, Pedro Obiang and Mark Noble. Carroll now has four goals in his last four Premier League games managed to score and is back in shape. West Ham wins normally not often at Southampton, but the game could benefit from moderate defend on the side of Southampton.
Whether this game says a lot about is doubtful the current form of West Ham. Obviously, you need a tough away game at St. Mary’s Stadium or win, because as easy as it really is not. But ultimately it was the resistance of Southampton West Ham was not worth a lot. However, it seems that the right players are in shape. Andy Carroll is a moment in the spotlight, but Pedro Obiang also took a goal and an assist for his account. He is the first West Ham player of the season has scored a goal and give an assist collapse game.
Probable lineup West Ham United
Randolph, Kouyaté, Fonte, Reid, Cresswell, Feghouli, Obiang, Noble, Snodgrass, Antonio, Carroll
West Brom
West Bromwich Albion will not have to worry about relegation. The outlook at the start of the season was far from positive and Tony Pulis gave up some criticism, but now stands WBA in a respectable eighth place. After 24 games The Baggies have collected 36 points together. Relegation seems already practically not possible, as well WBA has a lead of seven points at number eleven Stoke City. The top ten is thus a serious possibility.
Those seven points ahead of Stoke WBA partly due to the 1-0 victory over Stoke last weekend. West Brom lost just one of his last six league games and hums so self-confidence. That was seen against Stoke because WBA started energetically and Stoke had in the first half struggling to keep up with the pace. However, in the second half Stoke were the better side, but WBA Stoke was lucky that his visor still did not stand on edge.
West Bromwich Albion made a whopping 21 goals at home this season. Outside the top four WBA is thus the most-scoring home side in the Premier League. In away games West Brom made so far eleven; still not a wrong number. It provides West Brom his best season so far on since 1980/1981. In the meantime, West Brom after 24 games had always scored less points than the current 36.
Probable lineup West Bromwich Albion
Foster, Nyom, Dawson, McAuley, Brunt, Fletcher, Livermore, Chadli, Morrison, Phillips, Rondón
