Six West Ham United stats to refresh your memory ahead of the return of football

The 2019-20 Premier League season has been a difficult one for West Ham after a summer that promised so much.

The signings of Sebastian Haller and Pablo Fornals suggested that the team could take another step under the management of Manuel Pellegrini, but after a strong start to the season their results deteriorated and the Chilean was sacked in December.

Former boss David Moyes was then brought in for his second spell as manager and after a win in his first Premier League match, things have not improved too much.

With nine matches still to play this season, the Hammers are only just clear of the bottom three, with goal difference the only thing separating them from the relegation zone.

Moyes' side get back into action with a tough fixture against Wolves and with that in mind, we have had a look back over the season so far and some of the standout statistics...

Struggles at home

London Stadium has not quite yet captured the fever pitch atmosphere that was so evident at Upton Park and their home form has been a big weakness so far this season.

From 14 matches, West Ham have picked up just 15 points and with seven defeats and only four wins, improvement at London Stadium will be a big priority.

Leaky at the back

Despite having some well-regarded players at the back, including the highly sought after Issa Diop, the Hammers have conceded far too many goals this season.

From their 29 matches, West Ham have seen their defence breached on 50 occasions, with only Norwich City, Aston Villa and Southampton conceding more often.

New year, same problems

After a win in his first match as boss on New Year's Day, Moyes has seen his side pick up just one Premier League win since.

Having said that, his side have faced the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Leicester City in that time and will hope that a slightly easier run of fixtures could see them make a move up the table.

Inconsistent Haller

The Hammers spent plenty of money to bring Haller to the club over the summer and while he has impressed in bursts, they are yet to see his very best form.

With seven goals and one assist, he is tied for joint-25th in the top goalscorers charts and will want to climb that list if he can.

Shot shy

With the likes of Felipe Anderson, Haller, Fornals and Manuel Lanzini in their side, West Ham have definitely under-performed in an attacking sense this season.

On average, the Hammers have managed just 10.4 shots-per-game, which places them joint-15th in the league overall and way off Manchester City in first, who average 19.4-per-game.
