It barely feels a moment since West Ham's 2022/23 campaign finished with Europa Conference League glory in Prague, and yet the new season has crept up in the background. So here we are, the release day of the next set of Premier League fixtures, this time for 2023/24.
The Hammers will be hopeful that their domestic efforts will bear more fruit this time around after a disappointing league season saw them at threat of relegation at times. David Moyes and his squad managed to recover, finishing 14th and hitting the 40-point mark that eventually gave them a six-point buffer to the bottom three.
While the faith shown to the manager resulted in a European trophy, the desire for improvement in the league will be clear for the upcoming campaign. A host of signings could see the Irons transform those fortunes, though it could also have them lose club captain Declan Rice.
