West Ham – Bolton

West Ham head into the showdown at the London Stadium perched atop the table with 14 points from seven games, having amassed 20 goals while conceding just nine. Bolton sit stubbornly at the foot of the division on 7 points, their two victories and solitary draw offset by four defeats and a modest return of seven goals for 12 conceded. The Hammers, unbeaten in their last six encounters, will be keen to extend their run and cement the gap at the summit, whereas Bolton will be desperate to claw back into the safety zone before the winter break. With a six‑point swing on the line, the fixture promises a stark contrast between a side in fine scoring form and a club fighting to avoid the relegation barrage.
