The home team disputes against West Bromwich Albion a match of matchday 18, which had been postponed, after 8 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in their league matches so far. For the championship, West Ham United won 15 points out of 27 possible, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 9 games they played in their stadium. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at half ‑ time was 1‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). His attack has scored regularly, since he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 games in this competition, he only managed 1 comeback in the 7 games in which he suffered the first goal. In the last 12 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (61′ ‑ 75 ‘).
West Ham are motivated for this game after a 1-0 home win against Burnley: Antonio, in the 9th minute, scored what would be the only goal of the game. The home team must play in a 4-3-3 tactical system, to try to take advantage of the quick transitions, through the wings. In this tactical arrangement, the three most advanced men will be Pablo Fornals, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen. Therefore, West Ham is expected to adopt a more offensive stance, taking into account the lack of quality of the “enemy” it will receive. Coach David Moyes should have only one absence for this game, due to injury: Arthur Masuaku.
