Mark Lawrenson should give West Ham United fans plenty of confidence going into the weekend’s game against Norwich City after his weekly predictions.
The Hammers host Daniel Farke’s newly-promoted side at the London Stadium on Saturday and are eyeing to make it back-to-back Premier League triumphs.
Optimism will already be high after knocking off Newport County in the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 win, and Lawrenson believes it’ll be the same score next time out:
2-0. My great worry about Norwich is defensively, they have conceded eight goals. You get so heavily punished in this league. They will rely on winning enough games and generally those wins come at home. They had chances at Anfield but you just worry about them away from home. If you are not right on it, you get punished.
READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
West Ham’s exciting attack should thrive against the Canaries’ weak defence that has already conceded eight league goals in three games.
Sebastien Haller will be looking to build on his first two goals for the club in last weekend’s triumph at Watford whilst Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornals, Jack Wilshere and Mark Noble also provide central attacking firepower.
Lawro’s insight is only good news for the Irons, and you can believe him too. Norwich’s home form will be what keeps them up this season, and if West Ham are sharp they can force a lot of punishment.
