Tough start for Hammers

So WHU are up against a bunch of Geordie no-hopers on September 12 — what could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot according to the Daily Mail which states that Betfair has installed David Moyes as favourite for being the first PL manager to be sacked. 

The Irons face six of the top eight in their first seven games. But we should remember that West Ham did the double over Chelsea and took four points off Man United last time round, so as ever we can raise our game against top sides. 

Leicester and Wolves are two of the teams the Hammers play, though both these sides might not be so impressive this time round. An away match at Spurs often springs an upset and Arsenal have flaws. October does look a little dodgy though, with games against Man City ay home and Liverpool away. 

After that tough start things do get a little better and the final run-in doesn't look too bad. The most important thing is to get a win against Newcastle — points on the board would immediately give the side confidence.
