da blaze casino： By their own high expectations, West Ham certainly haven’t had the most ideal of starts in the Premier League season.
da bet7： Despite winning their first home game of the campaign against Bournemouth, the Hammers have not settled in their new London Stadium home, and have been defending horrendously in the past few matches.
However, their torrid run of results finally came to end last weekend as they defeated Crystal Palace in a well-fought London Derby at Selhurst Park.
They rode their luck and were grateful that Eagles striker Christian Benteke missed a penalty on the stroke of half-time, but the three points at the end of the day is the all important statistic for the Hammers.
The victory moved the Irons out of the bottom three and they now sit in 15th with seven points. They have a great chance to continue their upward rise as bottom club Sunderland are the next visitors at the east end of the capital.
Quite frankly, the Black Cats have been a shambles this season but both clubs will see this as an opportunity to really get their campaigns going.
It’s shaping up to be a very intriguing match and we think this is how West Ham should line up.
Adrian
West Ham’s No.1 since Jussi Jaaskelainen was ousted. Adrian has been superb for a couple of seasons but is not having his greatest campaign this time around.
Winston Reid
Many a time Reid has been linked with a transfer to a big club but has stayed true to the Hammers and is one of their best defenders.
Cheikou Kouyate
Able to play in defence or midfield, Kouyate is strong and hard working.
Angelo Ogbonna
A lot was expected of Ogbonna after his arrival from Juventus but he hasn’t quite lived up to the billing. He’s a good player, though, and will continue to feature for the Hammers.
Alvaro Arbeloa
With Aaron Cresswell banned for his two yellow cards at Crystal Palace and options thin on the ground, experienced Spaniard Arbeloa will come back in. The ex-Liverpool and Real Madrid man may not offer much going forward, but he’s defensively adept.
Mark Noble
The Hammers captain is an Iron through and through and will want to ensure he leads them out of this tough time. He’s been relegated before with them and will want to avoid any threat of that, again.
Pedro Obiang
The Spaniard is a good, yet unspectacular footballer who always seems to do his job. He will continue to keep his place.
Michail Antonio
The winger has shone since moving slightly deeper and will offer the attacking threat Arbeloa on the other flank will not.
Manuel Lanzini
Lanzini is a nice and tidy footballer. He scored the winning goal against Crystal Palace on the weekend and was impressive throughout.
Dimitri Payet
Dimitri Payet is a phenomenal footballer. He was one of the players of the season last term, and impressed at the EUROs for France.
Simone Zaza
Zaza is famous for his awful penalty miss for Italy during the European Championship in their shootout defeat to Germany.
However, he was still talked about as a good player so West Ham signed him during their huge striker pursuit.
He’s yet to set the world alight yet, but we think he still needs time to settle.
