West Ham United
After their FA Cup win over Leeds United last weekend, West Ham will turn their attention to the Premier League where they host struggling Norwich City.
The Hammers have made a winning start to 2022 in both the Premier League (PL) and the FA Cup, following a 3-2 over Crystal Palace in their last league outing, and a 2-0 win over Leeds United over the weekend.
The recent wins mean that David Moyes’ side come into this tie with three wins to their name. They currently sit in fifth, one point behind Arsenal in fourth. With the Gunners not in league action this midweek due to their Carabao Cup commitments, a win in this match will take the Hammers into the top four.
They will fancy their chances against Norwich given that they are unbeaten against the Canaries in the last five (W3, D2), after scoring 2+ goals in all five of those previous meetings.
Possible West Ham United starting line-ups
Lukasz Fabianski; Ben Johnson, Craig Dawson, Issa Diop, Arthur Masuaku; Declan Rice, Vladimir Soucek; Jarrod Bowen, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals; Michail Antonio.
Injured: Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell, Kurt Zouma

Norwich City
Like their hosts, Norwich City were in action over the weekend in the FA Cup where they beat Charlton FC 1-0.
The win over Charlton ended their run of seven games without a win in all competitions and gave them their first goal in six games.
But in the Premier League, Norwich City have lost 13 of their 19 matches. Away from home, they have lost six of their nine away matches and come into this tie rooted at the bottom of the table.
With just one win and ten league points so far, only a miracle will see them avoid relegation this season.
Possible Norwich City starting line-ups
Tim Krul; Max Aarons, Grant Hanley, Ben Gibson, Brandon Williams; Kenny McLean, Jacob Sorensen, Pierre Lees-Melou; Joshua Sargent, Teemu Pukki, Milot Rashica.
Injured: Billy Gilmour, Lukas Rupp, Mathias Normann, Christoph Zimmermann, Andrew Omobamidele.
Doubtful: Todd Cantwell
Suspended: None
Prediction
West Ham 1-0 Norwich
