Our prediction for this Premier League match:
West Ham United will be looking to extend their winning run to four game when they take on Norwich City in a postponed Premier League game. The Hammers faced no difficulties in the FA Cup clash with Leeds United (2-0), and it is no wonder they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Canaries on home soil. Said Benrahma is on international duty with Algeria, while Winston Reid is no longer part of the club. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Michail Antonio, who has netted 8 goals in the Premier League so far this season.
The Canaries, on the other hand, did well to beat Charlton in the FA Cup round 3 at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Wednesday’s football match. Since West Ham are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on David Moyes’ troops. The good news for the visitors is that Teemu Pukki has recovered from coronavirus.
Highlighted Player (Saïd Benrahma):
Said Benrahma is an Algeria international who started his club career at Nice. The pacey winger made his Ligue 1 debut during the 2013/2014 season and after scoring 3 goals in 17 appearances for les Aiglons in the French top flight, he moved to the Championship team Brentford in the summer of 2018.
Said Benrahma was born in Ain Temouchent, Algeria on August 10, 1995 and it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Angers, Gazelec Ajaccio and Chateauroux on loan before joining the Griffin Park outfit. The Algerian footballer impressed in the 2018/2019 Championship season, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists for his teammates.
His main position is right winger, but he is used as a left winger as well. Speaking of his international career, Said Benrahma made his debut for the Algeria national team on October 13, 2015 in a 1-0 win over Senegal.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
