Pick of the stats: Cardiff City v West Ham United

West Ham United heads into Wednesday's clash with Cardiff City following the dismissal of manager Nuno Espirito Santo after consecutive defeats left the club in eighth place. The visitors aim to maintain their unbeaten away record this season, having secured three wins and three draws on the road, including two recent clean-sheet victories.

A win would mark a historic first for the club, as they have never previously defeated two Welsh opponents away from home in a single league campaign. Cardiff City enters the match looking to bounce back from a loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The hosts remain undefeated at home this season, currently riding a three-game winning streak at their own ground. While West Ham has dominated recent meetings with four wins in their last five, Cardiff holds the memory of a 2-0 victory from March 2019.
