West Ham United travel to Bolton looking to build on recent form, while the hosts seek to halt a poor run.

Form Guide

• Bolton Wanderers: Struggling near the bottom (around 21st). Recent results include a heavy 0-4 loss at Millwall and defeats to Sheffield United and Lincoln. Only one win in five league games.
• West Ham United: Mid-table (around 8th) with 8 points from five games. Strong recent results include 3-0 vs Derby and 4-2 vs Wolves. Seeking a first away win of the season.

This is the first league meeting between the sides in 15 years. Historically Bolton have a strong record at home against West Ham, but current form heavily favours the visitors.

Team News

Bolton: Possible absences include Josh Sheehan and others. Expected to line up with Jack Bonham in goal and Sam Dalby leading the line.

West Ham: Doubts over Taty Castellanos and Pablo. Jarrod Bowen, Joel Piroe and Manor Solomon should feature prominently. Mads Hermansen expected in goal.

Prediction

Bolton 0-2 West Ham

West Ham have superior quality and momentum. Bolton’s defensive issues and recent heavy defeats make an away win the most likely outcome.
