West Ham team news
Tomáš Souček is still out with his long-term ankle injury. Taty Castellanos is a doubt after coming off injured against Derby County. Also, Pablo was not in the squad against the Rams, so he could still be injured. It remains to be seen whether Edson Alvarez and Soungoutou Magassa will be reintegrated into the squad after failing to secure moves away from the club.

Luca Stephenson is injured with a thigh and muscle strain. They will also be without Josh Sheehan after he received a straight red-card against Millwall.

Bolton vs. West Ham prediction
West Ham are in form after back-to-back convincing wins over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Derby. In contrast, Bolton have lost their last three games and have just been defeated 4-0 by Millwall. Therefore, I expect the Hammers to win comfortably; I am going to go for a 2-0 win for Nuno Espírito Santo's side.
