It's never easy for a midtable club to win 5 games in a row but West Ham is looking really good at the moment. However, I don't give them much chance to continue in the same rhythm for along to be honest. Even if they have a good run of 4 successive clean sheets what points their manager found a good receipt for defense, they will face a relegation side that contains mainly counterattacks. Coach Moyes not known as a manager that likes to rotate much, so even if he makes changes to the line-up they would be no more than 1-2. For hosts, Balbuena had to self-isolate for the second time after a fever. Masuaku won’t be available until spring though as he recovers from knee surgery. West Brom recorded just their second league win of the season on Saturday when coming from behind to steal lucky 3:2 success on a visit to Wolverhampton. Crucial for win proved 2 penalties converted by Pereira and luck was definitely with Baggies in this match. It was a much-needed away win vs. Wolves. Defending remains appalling though Grant sidelined. Johnstone, Townsend, Diangana, and Phillips doubtful. Coach Allardyce has Gallagher back from the ban and he should start. Also Snodgrass expected to play against team he just left. Some of Johnstone, Townsend, Diangana and Phillips could feature too if they pass late fitness tests so there is good news for Sammy. Grant remains sidelined, while both Ivanovic and Krovinovic at odds with a new manager and he might not use them as much as previous manager did. I see away team more than capable of avoiding loss by 2 goals here, so in case of 1:1 or 0:0 we will be celebrating these good odds.

对于中游球队来说，连续赢得5场比赛绝非易事，但西汉姆目前看来真的很不错。但是，我不认为他们能够长时间保持这样的势头。即使他们连续四场表现出色，这也说明他们的教练找到了不错的防守阵型，他们的对手是一支保级球队，主要依靠反击。莫耶斯教练不喜欢轮换太多阵容，所以即使他对阵容进行了更改，也不会超过1-2人。Balbuena必须在发烧后进行自我隔离。 Masuaku直到春季才可以复出。西布朗在周六赢得了第二场比赛，他们以3：2的成功战胜了狼队。至关重要的胜利，他们打进了2个点球。后卫格兰特仍然无法出战。 Johnstone，Townsend，Diangana和Phillips出战存疑。加拉格尔从已经解禁，他应该会重回首发。斯诺德格拉斯也希望与他刚刚离开的球队交手。如果约翰斯通（Johnstone），汤森（Townsend），迪安加纳（Diangana）和菲利普斯（Phillips）中的一些人也可以通过赛前的测试，那么对西布朗来说是个好消息。格兰特（Grant）仍然处于场外，而伊万诺维奇（Ivanovic）和克罗维诺维奇（Krovinovic）都与新任经理发生争执，他可能不会像前任教练那样依赖他们。我认为西布朗有能力避免在本场输掉两个球以上，比分参考1:1,0:0。
