In the previous encounter between these two teams in this competition on 16 December 2024, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. The historical record of head-to-head matches at this stadium favours the home side, who have won 2 out of the last 4 meetings, drawing 1 and losing 1. Notably, in the most recent fixture at this ground for the League Cup on 28 August 2024, West Ham United emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win, with Jarrod Bowen scoring the decisive goal. It is essential to consider the home/away performance, as both teams display significantly different results at home and away.

In their penultimate match, they drew with Everton (1-1), but were defeated away at Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-0) in their last outing. West Ham’s home performance has been notably stronger, with a record of 6 wins at home compared to only 3 wins on the road in their last 30 matches, where they scored 14 goals but conceded 28 as visitors. At home, they have recorded 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses, scoring 18 and conceding 26.

West Ham United comes into this match following a 1-0 defeat against Wolverhampton, marking their third consecutive league match without a win. The London side typically employs a 3-4-3 tactical formation, with Jarrod Bowen, Luis Guilherme, and Evan Ferguson serving as their attacking trident. Lucas Paquetá plays a pivotal role in midfield, orchestrating play and providing creativity to their offensive efforts. However, the squad will be without Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio, both sidelined due to injury issues.
