BBC pundit predicts West Ham joy
Lawro writes on the BBC website: It is going to be very interesting to see what the atmosphere is like at London Stadium after what happened there in West Ham’s last home game – the 3-0 loss to Burnley. That was an absolutely crazy day.
Will things be any different this time? Well, I would have thought that the vast majority of Hammers fans going to this game will be very much behind their team.
The players need them to be when you look at their league position and what defeat by Southampton would mean.
I am sure Hughes will see his side get the bounce that most new managers get, with improved performances as well as results – but he might have to wait for it.
Lawro’s prediction: 2-1″
