West Ham put in a spirited display against Manchester United last weekend. Many observers thought the Hammers deserved the three points and were unlucky to lose. Inconsistent performances have blighted Manuel Pellegrini’s first season in charge, and the Chilean will be hoping that his players follow up their good display at Old Trafford with another …
West Ham certainly showed some spirit in the second half against Chelsea on Monday, but they didn’t do enough to rescue a point. They will be facing a United side on Saturday coming off the back of a home defeat against Barcelona in the Champions League. Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed permanent manager, results …
West Ham will want to put their wretched display against Everton behind them when they face Chelsea in a fiercely contested London derby on Monday night. The 2-0 defeat to the Toffees could have been a lot worse and Hammers fans were rightly critical of the players’ attitude during the game. They usually get themselves …
West Ham’s inconsistent form must have manager Manuel Pellegrini pulling his hair out. Their last two fixtures against relegation-threatened sides have seen them lose to Cardiff City and win after coming from behind against Huddersfield. What Hammers side turns up at the London Stadium against Everton on Saturday is anyone’s guess. Marco Silva’s team will …
Rewind a year back to when the Hammers lost a despairing 3-0 to Burnley at their home ground. Owing to the atmosphere during that point of time, it was without doubt one of the lowest points Mark Noble’s playing career and sent punters spiralling after what turned out to be a losing bet. In his …
West Ham will want to recover from a poor showing against Cardiff City last time out. They should have the perfect opportunity at home when they face Huddersfield on Saturday. Striker Andy Carroll has picked up another ankle injury. The 30-year-old missed the start of the season after undergoing ankle surgery before returning to action …
Following the 2-0 win against Newcastle last Saturday, West Ham will be very confident about picking up another three points at Cardiff this weekend. The Bluebirds are in a wretched run of form, having lost 5-1, 3-0 and 2-0 in their last three league games, and the Hammers will want to condemn them to their …
West Ham performed admirably against Manchester City midweek but they still came away with nothing from the Etihad. The Saturday evening clash versus Newcastle should be a far more even contest with the Hammers favourites to come out on top. The Magpies have certainly been in better form recently with four wins in their last …
West Ham face Fulham at the London Stadium on Friday night with both clubs having had a 13-day break from match action. The Hammers will be without Samir Nasri who has failed to recover from a calf injury that has kept him out for the London club’s last four games. There is some good news …
West Ham would have taken a lot of confidence from Monday’s draw against Liverpool but they will want to back that up with another good performance against Crystal Palace. The Eagles have been in good form recently, having beaten Tottenham in the FA Cup, drawn away at Southampton with ten men and won at home …
West Ham have by far the biggest injury list of all their Premier League rivals as they prepare for their home match against Premier League leaders Liverpool tonight. The Hammers have an unprecedented 11 players potentially sidelined for the return fixture against Jurgen Klopp’s Reds. Marko Arnautovic with a foot problem, Lukas Fabianski with an …
West Ham will be looking to refocus following three consecutive defeats in all competitions. Off the pitch issues have certainly played a part in the poor performances. Pablo Zabaleta has admitted that the transfer saga over Marko Arnautovic has been a distraction but with the Austrian having signed a contract extension, Manuel Pellegrini will be …
West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini will likely only rest a few first-team players for the FA Cup match against AFC Wimbledon this weekend due to the club’s injury situation. Youngsters Xande Silva and Grady Diangana started the 2-0 victory over Birmingham City in the last round of the competition and it is expected that the pair …
West Ham will have Javier Hernandez back fit and available to start for this weekend’s game against Bournemouth. The Mexican international hasn’t featured for the Hammers since the 2-0 home defeat to Watford in December due to hamstring and back problems. Marko Arnautovic still remains a West Ham player despite the interest from the Far …
Like a lot of Premier League clubs, West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini is likely to ring the changes against Birmingham in the FA Cup tomorrow. With such a long injury list, though, he will be limited to blooding young players rather than having senior talent to come into the starting lineup. Javier Hernandez won’t feature …
West Ham’s inconsistency is no doubt a major cause of frustration for manager Manuel Pellegrini. The 2-0 away defeat to relegation-threatened Burnley came off the back of a good win against Southampton on Thursday. Pellegrini attributed the loss at Turfmoor to tiredness, and there is certainly some truth to that explanation. The Hammers are unable …
Having ten players out injured didn’t affect West Ham’s ability to secure three points against Southampton last night. An excellent display from Felipe Anderson means Manuel Pellegrini’s side move up to ninth in the table, just five points off sixth place Manchester United. The Hammers are now in a good run of form, having won …
West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini would have been disappointed with the performance against Watford last time out, especially after the Hammers had won four games in a row prior to the defeat. A trip to the South Coast won’t be as easy as it might have been a few weeks ago either with new manager …
