West Ham head into Saturday’s meeting with West Brom at the London Stadium with clear momentum in attack: the Hammers have scored 12 goals in their last five league games compared with West Brom’s six, a gap that frames this fixture as a home side with scoring form against an away side that has been harder to break down but less prolific. The Championship fixture kicks off on Saturday 31 October at 15:00 GMT.
Fan Banter prediction · 90 minutes
90-minute pick
West Ham to win, 2-1.
Reason: West Ham’s recent return of 12 goals in five league games gives them a clear attacking edge at home, while West Brom’s last-five total of six goals suggests they will struggle to match that firepower over 90 minutes; the relative league positions (third v fifth) and single-point gap in the table also favour a narrow home victory.

West Brom’s shape coming in
West Brom have one point fewer from the same number of league games and sit in the play-off places. Their last five league matches delivered seven points from two wins, one draw and two defeats (played 5: W2 D1 L2). That sequence contains wins of 3-2 at home to Blackburn and 2-1 away at Wrexham, plus a 1-1 draw at Preston on 24 October — results that underline resilience but also a lower goals return than West Ham over the same period (6 scored, 6 conceded).
