Opta’s Supercomputer has predicted whether or not West Ham will get relegated after their recent defeat to Fulham.
Raul Jimenez scored in the 85th minute, and his goal helped Fulham beat West Ham by a 1-0 scoreline at the London Stadium.
With that result, the Hammers remained in 18th place on the Premier League table, five points behind Nottingham Forest in 17th.
Does ANYONE really deserve West Ham’s Man of the Match award?
Who was the best of a bad lot v Fulham?
West Ham given less than 30 per cent chance to avoid relegation from Premier League
Opta’s Supercomputer crunched the numbers after Saturday’s Premier League fixtures.
Nuno Espirito Santo knows that losing to Fulham at home was unacceptable, but will heave a sigh of relief as Nottingham Forest also lost on Saturday.
This is shocking! 😰 Relegation is going to be dire for West Ham…
What would YOU do to avoid this mess?
However, despite both sides failing to get anything from their games this matchweek, West Ham United are still predicted to be relegated.
They are given less than a 30 per cent chance of avoiding the drop and are predicted to end up in 18th place with 34 points.
Forest, surprisingly, are predicted to finish above Leeds United and both teams have been given an 83 per cent chance of avoiding relegation from the Premier League this season.
Who do West Ham need to sign in January transfer window?
Nuno has to get the best out of the players currently at the London Stadium, but it is evident that this squad needs reinforcements in the January transfer window.
Callum Wilson, despite being the club’s best out-and-out number nine, was once again left on the bench against Fulham.
Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville started as the two tens behind Jarrod Bowen, who led the line for the Hammers.
West Ham want to sign Troy Parrott in January and the Republic of Ireland international could be tempted to move to the capital.
Another striker on their radar is Wolves’ Jorgen Strand Larsen, but his asking price may put him out of the Hammers’ reach.
Nuno also wants to shore up his defence as they have conceded 36 goals this season, which is only better than Wolves (39), who are on course to be the worst Premier League side in history.
Charlie Cresswell is admired by West Ham and the hierarchy could end up making a move for him in the coming days.
