The Hammers are unbeaten since their Carling Cup win at Ninian Park with 4 draws and 2 wins.
Last night the shock of the fixtures came at the Hawthorns. Bottom of the table Wimbledon beat West Brom by a single goal.
Wigan stay top after a home draw with Sheff Utd.
Coventry, who City beat last weekend, earned a point with a last minute leveller at Watford.
Cardiff drop to 12th after Crewe beat Preston at Gresty Rd but we have at least 1 game in hand over all the teams above us.
