West Ham United v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

West Ham United v West Bromwich Albion
West Ham United v West Bromwich Albion: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

West Ham have not won since defeating Chelsea on 24 October, which will have prompted fears one of the club’s traditional mid-season slumps might be brewing. Last week’s mauling at Tottenham was certainly chastening and Slaven Bilic, shorn of his most creative player, Dimitri Payet, is also without his suspended captain Mark Noble against an Albion side buoyed by beating Arsenal 2-1.
