The Whites have struggled to score goals as of late, having found the back of the net just once in their last five Premier League games.<\/p>\n<p>The Irons, on the other hand, have only failed to score in one of their last five gamea across all competitions. If West Ham can get the early goal here, we\u2019d back them to win \u2013 but given their current predicament, a deep FA Cup run is something they can probably do without.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wolves (H) \u2013 Premier League<\/h3>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1073622793\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Wolves\u2019 season has been little more than a disaster, but their form has improved somewhat in recent weeks. Furthermore, they demolished West Ham earlier on in the season by a score of 3-0.<\/p>\n<p>The Hammers will be out for revenge in the reverse fixture. On the face of it, this looks like a relatively easy win \u2013 but West Ham\u2019s less-than-stellar home record complicates things somewhat. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crystal Palace (A) \u2013 Premier League<\/h3>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074655461\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>After a torrid run of form that saw their hopes of European qualification effectively torpedoed, Crystal Palace have pulled their socks up. They have only lost one of their last five games, keeping clean sheets in two of them \u2013 they also beat Tottenham away from home during this span of time. <\/p>\n<p>Generally, West Ham perform better away from home than they do at the London Stadium. Palace, meanwhile, have a poor home record \u2013 this would indicate that the Hammers have a serious chance of winning this one.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everton (H) \u2013 Premier League<\/h3>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074732195\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Out of all the games the Hammers have coming up, this is the one they can probably write off. Everton have been a real surprise package this season, currently sitting 8th in the Premier League table. <\/p>\n<p>With that being said, the Hammers\u2019 conservative style of play could give Everton issues. The Toffees are a counterattacking team \u2013 West Ham could frustrate them and force them to take risks if they can defend their box effectively.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brentford (A) \u2013 Premier League<\/h3>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074716034\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>This will also be a very, very tough game for Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men. Brentford, being a physical outfit who like to disrupt play as much as possible, are an absolute nightmare for any team to come up against.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their reputation, they aren\u2019t particularly successful from set-pieces, having scored six goals from set plays all season. Nevertheless, they love to pump the ball into the box and down the channels \u2013 this is the sort of approach that West Ham have struggled to contain in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n<p>      <!-- Article End -->\n    <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two London rivals are locked in the midst of a generational relegation battle.
