BIG MATCH GUIDE

West Ham United vs Swansea City When: Saturday 30th September, 3pm KO Where: London Stadium Odds: West Ham (10/11), Swansea 15/4, Draw (5/2) Key Men: Javier Hernandez (West Ham) – The Mexican is a born goalscorer and worked with Swansea boss Paul Clement during their time together at Real Madrid. The Swans must beware his poacher’s instinct as the former Manchester United frontman goes in search of more goals for the Hammers. Tammy Abraham (Swansea City) – A well-taken goal against Watford will have done wonders for Abraham’s confidence and he should return to the starting lineup, having been cut a frustrated figure on the bench during that first half at the Liberty. Needs more service if he’s to supply the goals that Swansea have been lacking. What the managers have said: Slaven Bilic: “When I was asked at the start of this season for one wish to be granted, I replied that I wanted stability. Unfortunately, we haven’t yet achieved that goal. We are still in a period of turbulence, but I remain confident about the future.” Paul Clement: “I know I can do better and, more importantly, the players can do much better. You cannot go through the motions during the week and then expect to roll a team over on the weekend.” Probable teams: West Ham (3-4-3): Hart; Zabaleta, Fonte, Reid; Antonio, Noble, Kouyate, Cresswell; Lanzini, Arnautovic, Hernandez. Swansea (5-3-2): Fabianski; Naughton, van der Hoorn, Fernandez, Mawson, Olsson; Sanches, Mesa, Carroll; Ayew, Abraham. Referee: Roger East (Wiltshire) By Dominic Booth
