West Ham team news

Keiber Lamadrid is the only West Ham player injured. The Hammers had an emphatic 6-0 win over Lincoln City this week. Therefore, Nuno Espírito Santo is unlikely to make many changes. However, Edvin Austbo could start after impressing off the bench against the Imps.

Swansea are currently top of the Championship, but they will have a few players missing. Josh Key is injured, and Filip Lissah is suspended after already accumulating five yellow cards. Stephan Eustaquio and Adam Idah are doubts.

Swansea vs. West Ham prediction

Swansea are the league leaders and have won their last four games. However, they did need a 90th-minute winner against Millwall during the week. As for the Hammers' form, they returned to winning ways after two successive draws by thumping nine-man Lincoln.

It did take time for the Hammers to break down the Imps despite their player advantage. Once they got the lead, the goals flowed. The Swans have home advantage, and West Ham could close the gap between them and the Welsh side in the league with a win. This could be a cagey top-of-the-table clash, but I am going to go for a 2-2 draw.
