West Ham United will face Derby County in the Championship on Saturday.

London Stadium will host the Rams on 5 September as Nuno Espirito Santo's team look to build a winning run.

The Hammers got their first league game of the season against Wolves after winning 4-2.

Derby will now travel to London Stadium, but history isn't on their side.

In the last 20 meetings between the Irons and the East Midlands club in London, the home side have lost just twice.

With the new signings starting to click in E20, John Eustace's team could have a long day ahead of them.

West Ham vs Derby County result prediction

Adama Boiro became West Ham's eighth and final signing of the summer transfer window.

The Hammers have added the likes of Arne Engles, Joel Piroe and Divine Mukasa to their ranks.

Nuno has also managed to keep an important player in Jarrod Bowen at the club for now.

The Irons' quality is finally starting to show in the Championship and they're expected to beat Derby.

Opta's supercomputer has given the East London club a 68 per cent chance of getting the three points against the Rams at the London Stadium.

It looks like the Hammers will continue their domination against Derby at home, with the visitors given a 13 per cent chance of winning, while the chance of a draw is at 17 per cent.

What last four results say about West Ham and Derby County

Both West Ham and Derby haven't had the most encouraging starts to the season, winning just one of the first four matches.

The two teams are coming into the fixtures with victories over Wolves and Portsmouth, respectively.

Neither team have given their fans much to cheer for so far, with the Hammers sitting on five points while the Rams have four.

Derby finished eighth last season, and with six teams going to the play-offs in the 2026-27 campaign, they will hope to win promotion to the Premier League.

Nuno and Eustace need to get their teams going to achieve their goals by the end of the season.
