Rising club West Ham United (4-2-0, 12 points) takes on the challenge of newly-promoted squad Norwich City (2-2-2, 8 points) in the 2015-2016 Premiere League season at the Boleyn Ground on September 26, Saturday.
The Irons are currently on a three-game winning streak and manager Slaven Bilić hopes to extend it to four in this game against the Canaries.
West Ham's last win was their best so far this season, dismantling league-leading Manchester City, 1-2, on the road at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday as they took advantage of the recent poor performances by City superstars Raheem Sterling and Yaya Touré.
Winger Victor Moses opened the scoring right at the 6th minute while striker Diafra Sakho added another one at the 31st to give the early 2-0 lead for the Hammers, which they never relinquished, as reported by Heavy.
Meanwhile, the Yellows are also coming off an impressive performance, forcing a tough 1-1 draw against top English team Liverpool at the Anfield on Sunday.
After the Reds took a 1-0 lead at the 48th-minute, Norwich captain Russell Martin coolly tapped in a loose ball to equalize the count at the hour mark of the match following Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet's failed clearance off a corner shot in the penalty box, as per Bleacher Report.
Norwich could give West Ham a fight in this matchup, but the Hammers are on a roll right now and it looks like they cannot be stopped yet.
The predicted result is a 2-0 win for West Ham United.
West Ham starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Adrián; Tomkins, Cresswell, Jenkinson, Reid; Moses, Obiang; Lanzini, Noble, Payet; Sakho
Norwich City starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Ruddy; Whittaker, Brady, Bassong, Martin; Tettey; Howson, Redmond, Dorrans, Jarvis; Jerome
