West Ham is on a rise right now with three wins in their last four matches. The team is currently settled in the ninth spot in the English top flight table, five points behind West Brom and 11 points above the bottom three relegation area.
The Hammers are coming off an impressive 3-1 victory over reeling squad Southampton on the road at the St. Mary's Stadium last Saturday, as per Channel News Asia.
Southampton's newly-acquired forward Manolo Gabbiadini opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the match with a stunning strike against Hammers goalkeeper Darren Randolph.
However, English striker Andy Carroll quickly responded just two minutes later with the equalizer off a through ball by midfielder Pedro Obiang. Obiang then gave head coach Slaven Bilić's squad the lead one minute before the break with a 25-yard shot that found the back of Southampton's net.
West Ham captain Mark Noble then sealed the win with a 52nd-minute free kick that bounced off Saints captain Steven Davis before penetrating Fraser Forster's defense.
Meanwhile, West Brom nipped fellow middling team Stoke City, 1-0, at their home ground of the Hawthorns also last Saturday, the Telegraph reported.
Scottish midfielder James Morrison netted what proved to be the winning goal of the match in the sixth minute off a pass by Belgian midfielder Nacer Chadli. Both teams went scoreless after that as the Baggies take their second win in the last three matches.
West Brom is now on a three-game unbeaten run as they are settled in the eighth spot of the league table, 10 points below Manchester City and the final Europa League qualifying berth for next season.
