WEST Ham take on the Baggies this evening, looking for a third successive win to keep up their bid for a Uefa Cup place.

On paper, a victory for the Hammers appears a formality. Gianfranco Zola's men have recovered from a recent mini-slump to register impressive wins against European rivals Manchester City and Wigan Athletic.

West Brom are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table and are winless in their last eight matches.

As admirable as Tony Mowbray's pass-and-move philosophy is, it is their lack of bite that has cost them dear this season. We reckon this contest will produce an exciting game of football between two attacking teams, but the Irons will come out on top.

Our prediction: West Ham 3 West Brom 1
