Command Analysis
In the previous round, West Bromwich came close to creating a sensation and putting a spoke in the wheels of Liverpool. However, at the end of the game against the Merseysiders, the Baggies conceded on the 6th minute of injury time and suffered another defeat, which was already the twentieth in the current season.
Sam Allardyce couldn't complete the task of maintaining the Premier League residence. He was given the position of club manager exactly for that. But alas - before the start of the 37th round, West Brom occupy the second-last place in the standings. The team is already 12 points behind the saving 17th line but still has a chance to overtake Fulham. The WBA is just one point behind the Cottagers.
Sam Allardyce's charges are one of the worst home teams this season. West Brom have conceded 36 goals in 18 home matches, which is more than any other team. The Baggies scored 14 goals, which is less than Sheffield United and Fulham. In 18 home games, the WBA recorded only three victories, drew six, and lost nine.
Defender Branislav Ivanovic and midfielder Robert Snodgrassare still injured.
The Hammers had one of the best seasons in the Premier League, but they didn't have enough strength at the end of the season. A month ago, David Moyes' team was one of the main contenders for a ticket to the Champions League, but the last five rounds turned everything upside down. West Ham didn't have what it takes to be in the top four.
On this bad run, the London club got only one victory over Burnley (2:1), by the way, this was an away game for the Hammers. They also lost to Newcastle (2:3), Chelsea (0:1), and Everton (0:1), and drew Brighton (1:1).
After this series of unsuccessful games, West Ham dropped to seventh place. The Hammers are now five points behind Chelsea, four points behind Liverpool, and losing to Tottenham only on goal difference.
Away David Moyes' charges don't perform much worse than at home. At home, the Hammers scored only three points more than away. In total, over 18 away games, West Ham have got eight wins, four draws, and six losses. This is the eighth highest result in the Premier League in terms of away performance.
Due to injury, defender Arthur Masuaku will definitely miss the game. Manuel Lanzini's participation is doubtful.
