West Ham lands their chance to register their first win in the Premier League to shake off the bad luck this weekend. The Hammers play host to Wolves at the London Stadium. The match schedules for Sunday with kickoff at 9 pm.
David Moyes is having troubles at the helm of West Ham with wrangles tainting the reputation of the club. The side started with a 2-0 loss to Newcastle followed with a 2-1 loss to Arsenal last weekend.
It was a close call for West Ham who brought their best game in the London derby. A half time equalizer by Antonio was seen to mark a comeback for the side. A last-minute equalizer by Nketiah shanks the sink further.
David Moyes will enjoy successful exploits in the EFL Cup. The side started with a 3-0 win over Charlton to proceed to the next round. A triumphant 5-1 win over Hull City motivated the side to head into the weekend’s game with a point to prove.
A 2-0 win over Sheffield United was enough to kick start Nuno Espirito’s campaign on the right note.
