West Ham United v Norwich City: match preview

West Ham United v Norwich City
West Ham United v Norwich City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

West Ham’s history makers, having sprung surprise wins at Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, face a different pressure against Norwich on the basis they are expected to win. They were favourites in both defeats this season, against Leicester and Bournemouth, and have thus far revelled when the underdog. Saturday’s visitors have a dour away record in the top flight, winning only one of their past 14 on the road, but have only been defeated at Southampton since Alex Neil took charge and drew at Anfield last weekend.
