West HamEarns start Saturday
Walker-Peters generated five tackles (four won), one clearance and four interceptions in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Manchester City.
Analysis: Walker-Peters would earn the start Saturday after El Hadji Malick Diouf and Aaron Wan-Bissaka departed for AFCON, playing the full 90 at right-back. He would see some decent work in the defense despite three goals allowed, recording one clearance, four interceptions and five tackles. He will likely work towards some crosses in the coming matches as well, although he was heavily restrained by City's press.
Scores decisive goal
Walker-Peters scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Burnley.
Analysis: Walker-Peters scored his first West Ham goal Saturday, marking his first Premier League goal since the 2022-2023 season with Southampton. The defender entered the fixture for the final seven minutes and pounced on a spilled rebound to give West Ham a consequential third goal. After making five appearances (four starts) across West Ham's first six league fixtures, Walker-Peters has been limited to five appearances (one start) across West Ham's subsequent five league matches.
Two shot attempts in defeat
Walker-Peters registered two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Walker-Peters led a listless West Ham attacking effort Saturday with two shot attempts (one on goal) as they were outlasted in a 2-1 defeat versus Crystal Palace. After making one 21-minute substitute appearance across West Ham's first two league fixtures, the veteran defender has played the full 90 minutes in each of their last three league fixtures. Over the three-match starting stretch, Walker-Peters has made seven tackles (seven won) and seven clearances.
Starts against Nottingham
Walker-Peters started and played the full 90 in the Aug. 31 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Walker-Peters looks to be working his way into a starting role over Aaron Wan-Bissaka, with the defender breaking through to the starting XI in the third game of the season after Wan-Bissaka started in the first two. He would be decent in the contest, registering three tackles won and three clearances to go along with a clean sheet. He was an everyday starter with Southampton last campaign, appearing to be pushing for that spot now.
