West Ham United are having a poor run in the Premier League this season and have already lost 6 of their 11 matches so far. The Hammers are currently in the 13th position in the league table and might face the possibility of entering the relegation zone if their performances don’t improve.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men would face Huddersfield Town in their next matchup, and it is going to be an important one for both the sides. The Terriers are already in the relegation zone and have won only one match so far this season, which has jeopardised their possibility to stay in the Premier League in the next season. However, there is still a long way to go in this season, and David Wagner’s mean would look to bounce back, and West Ham can expect a tough match in their next outing away from home.
Team News
West Ham captain Mark Noble is suspended till 24th November and would not take any part in the match against Huddersfield. Andriy Yarmolenko, Carlos Sanchez, Jack Wilshere and Manuel Lanzini are all out with injuries and would remain sidelined for the next game as well.
Goalkeeper
Lukasz Fabianski has been the one to start in the goal for the Hammers so far this season and would once again do the same against Huddersfield.
Defence
The duo of Fabian Balbuena and Issa Diop will start in the heart of the backline. Pablo Zabaleta will do the defensive duties on the right side of the defence, and Aaron Cresswell will start as the left back.
Midfield
Declan Rice has shown his potential as a defensive midfielder in the last few matches and will start in the same position once again in the Huddersfield match. Felipe Anderson, who was the chief architect of West Ham’s win against Burnley in the last match in the Premier League, would start in the midfield alongside Pedro Obiang and Grady Diangana. Robert Snodgrass will put in his shift from the right-hand side of the midfield.
Attack
Marko Arnautovic will lead the line for the Hammers and it will become crucial for him to play well after a match-winning performance against Burnley in which he had opened the scoring with a brilliant finish.
Predicted Lineup: 4-1-4-1
