West Bromwich Albion travel down to the capital city to take on West Ham United at the London Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm).
The Baggies, who drew 1-1 with Preston North End last weekend, have now taken seven points from the last nine on offer and will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to four matches.
The Hammers are competing outside the Premier League for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign and are targeting an immediate return to the top flight. They were beaten 3-2 at home by Southampton in their most recent contest - a result which brought their nine-game unbeaten league run to a halt.
It's been over five years since the two clubs went head-to-head, with the East Londoners claiming a 3-1 win in the top flight in May 2021.

The hosts
West Ham have a clear target this season - win the Championship and get themselves back in the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The Hammers enjoyed a 14-year spell in the top tier and were also crowned UEFA Conference League champions in 2023, however, a number of disappointing results in the 2025/26 campaign led to the Londoners surrendering their top-flight status.
They've made a strong start to the current term and head into Saturday's showdown with West Bromwich Albion sat on 22 points from their first 12 fixtures having lost just twice.
Both of those defeats came at their home ground - the London Stadium. West Ham were beaten 2-1 by city rivals Charlton Athletic in August and 3-2 by Southampton last weekend - their first league setback in ten.
Nuno Espírito Santo's side boast the best attacking record in the whole of the EFL. No team in the Championship, Sky Bet League One or Sky Bet League Two has scored more than their tally of 32, with 12 different West Ham players finding the net in league matches so far.
Espírito Santo, who has also managed Rio Ave, Valencia, Porto, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Spurs, Al-Ittihad and Nottingham Forest, was appointed in September 2025 following Graham Potter's departure. The 52-year-old was unable to keep the Hammers in the Premier League, but will be determined to lead them back to where the supporters will feel they belong. He's won 19, lost 18 and drawn 15 of the 52 games he's been in charge of.
