Protests are anticipated at Anfield, Roberto De Zerbi is set to begin his tenure at Tottenham, and Everton is aiming for European qualification.
Nuno Espírito Santo has revitalized West Ham by reverting to a classic, aggressive 4-4-2 formation designed to enhance their attacking prowess. While January signings Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos have been brought in to bolster the offense, their individual goalscoring records haven’t been prolific. Castellanos has netted three goals across all competitions since his move from Lazio, and Pablo, who is still seeking his first goal in English football, missed a penalty in West Ham’s FA Cup shootout loss to Leeds last week. However, as a partnership, Castellanos and Pablo have shown surprising effectiveness. Their quality is debatable, but their tireless work rate undeniably injects more energy into a West Ham side that previously lacked dynamism. Playing together, they effectively create opportunities for wingers Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville. Summerville is hoping to recover from a calf injury in time for Friday night’s crucial home fixture against Wolves. Bowen and Summerville are West Ham’s primary goal threats and are even more dangerous when Pablo and Castellanos are on the field, opening up space for them.
