West Brom – West Ham is an intriguing duel against the Hawthorns on Wednesday (3:15 PM ET via Peacock Premium) as the Hammers make one final push for European qualification.
The men need David Moyes a miracle to get into the top four but they’re seventh in the game and looking for a place in the Europa League. That would be an incredible achievement for a team that had lost many as relegation candidates this season. With Declan Rice fit and Jesse Lingard and Michail Antonio on top, the Hammers will appreciate their chances of putting pressure on Liverpool and Tottenham to finish in the top six.
Recent defeats to Newcastle and Everton as well as a draw with Brighton left them stuck in their top 4 offers, but this could still be a historic season for the Hammers.
As for the already relegated West Brom, they have Liverpool were almighty terrified at the weekend as Sam Allardyce’s side were consistently direct, sharp and exuberant. Allardyce felt that two major decisions were being made against his team (Liverpool’s first goal and then a potential late winner that was blocked by VAR) and then Alisson showed up to win it for Liverpool in added time. Many of these West Brom players will be picked up by PL clubs this summer, and Allardyce may stay with West Brom for the next season to lead their promotion spurt.

Allardyce and Moyes have each other grappled with many times over the years, and this will be a close, tense encounter. West Brom is dangerous to attack but I expect West Ham to come straight over the line. West Brom 1-2 West Ham.
