Line Up Predictions

Jarrod Bowen, Manor Solomon and Taty Castellanos are the only settled picks across the West Ham predictions gathered here. Everything else is guesswork until the official teams are named.

Claret & Hugh’s latest XI selects Mads Hermansen, Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Maximilian Kilman, Morato, Arne Engels, Divine Mukasa and Pablo Felipe around that attacking trio. It makes Pablo rather than Joël Piroe the main call, reversing the same outlet’s earlier prediction.

West Ham Zone also expects Hermansen, Walker-Peters and an Engels-Mukasa midfield, but chooses Piroe. The West Ham Way picks Pablo and differs at right-back. None of these selections is confirmed team news.
