West Ham United are set to take on Swansea City on Saturday at 15:00 where the Hammers will be searching for back-to-back wins to close the gap to the League leaders, Swansea themselves.

The home side currently head into Saturday’s fixture with four victories in a row and looking to make it five, but they’ll have to face Nuno’s confident team who put six past nine-man Lincoln City. Should West Ham secure victory tomorrow it will place Nuno’s side within a single point of Swansea and could boost ourselves up to second place depending on Middlesbrough’s result against Cardiff.

West Ham United equalled their biggest away league win in club history on Wednesday night, after the Lincoln gubbing. The Hammers last scored six in an away win in 1962 against Manchester City. How times change!

Two minutes and 20 seconds into the match, Lincoln received their first red card for a poorly timed challenge on Joel Veltman and 20 minutes later, they received their second as Conor McGrandles denied Jarrod Bowen a goal-scoring opportunity, subsequently seeing red.
