West Ham will look to extend their impressive winning run when they face Wrexham at the London Stadium on Friday evening. Under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, the hosts have turned around an inconsistent start to secure three successive Championship victories, propelling them into the automatic promotion positions. The team has demonstrated clinical finishing during this run, netting ten goals across their recent triumphs and now sitting within striking distance of the league’s top spot.
Wrexham arrives having endured a more difficult campaign so far. Phil Parkinson’s side has managed just a single victory from their opening six matches, with four of those games ending in draws. This record has left them sitting in 14th place despite boasting the second-best defensive record in the division. The visitors have proven difficult to break down, conceding only five goals throughout their Championship campaign to date.
West Ham are expected to make several changes following their midweek trip to Bolton. Defenders Morato, who recently arrived on deadline day, could make his first start alongside potential changes in the forward line, with Joel Piroe and Manor Solomon in contention to feature. Striker Taty Castellanos remains unavailable due to a hamstring injury. The match will kick off at 8pm and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports channels.
