Form and Line-up
The London club are enduring an extremely tough season and are on the brink of relegation to the Championship. Out of their last five Premier League matches, the Hammers have won only once, failing to score in three of them. However, the situation forces them to go all in: Tottenham Hotspur have lost, which means the hosts need nothing less than a win in this round if they are to count on survival. At least they still have a chance.
Key numbers:
The Hammers conceded first in their last three Premier League matches.
Defender Konstantinos Mavropanos has made 29 blocks and ranks in the league’s top 10 in this metric.
The Londoners score an average of 1.33 goals per home match in this campaign.
Probable West Ham United line-up (3-4-2-1):
Mads Hermansen – Axel Disasi, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Jean-Clair Todibo – Malick Diouf, Tomas Soucek, Mateus Fernandes, Aaron Wan-Bissaka – Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen – Valentin Castellanos.
Absentees: Lukasz Fabianski (injury), Adama Traore (doubtful).
