Match preview

An intriguing promotion battle unfolds at the London Stadium this weekend as West Ham welcome West Brom for a crucial clash in the upper echelons of the Championship table. Just a single point separates these two promotion hopefuls after twelve matches, with the hosts sitting narrowly ahead in third place while their visitors occupy fifth.

West Ham return to home turf looking to find greater consistency after a mixed run of recent results that has included a pair of stalemates. Their underlying home record remains reasonably solid with three victories from six outings in front of their own supporters, though visiting teams have certainly found success in east London this term.

West Brom make the journey arriving in fifth position and boasting an identical away record to their hosts. The Baggies have experienced fluctuating fortunes over their past five fixtures, and establishing defensive solidity on the road will be paramount if they are to leapfrog the Hammers in the standings.
