West Ham United vs Derby County

West Ham United's first season back in the Championship since 2011-12 hasn't gone to plan, and this visit from Derby County finds both sides still hunting a first league win. West Ham sit 16th and Derby 17th, level on a single point from two games, an early scrap to avoid the wrong end of the table. West Ham drew 2-2 at Burnley before losing 1-2 at home to Charlton Athletic, and Derby fell 1-2 to that same Charlton side before drawing 2-2 with Cardiff City. Taty Castellanos and Jarrod Bowen lead West Ham's attack, alongside new signing Manor Solomon. For Derby, loanee Sammie Szmodics and Carlton Morris have impressed early on. The clubs have met 20 times since 1996, West Ham winning 9, Derby 4, with 7 drawn. With confidence low and points hard to come by for both, expect a tight, cagey afternoon at the London Stadium. Our prediction: 2-1
