Israeli Players Feature in English Championship Matches

Three Israeli footballers are competing simultaneously in the English Championship's fourth round. Manor Solomon is in the starting lineup for West Ham United as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers, seeking their first win of the season. Daniel Peretz is in goal for Southampton, who are visiting Birmingham City. Lisb Eisat is part of the Bristol City defense as they play away against Preston.

West Ham, considered promotion favorites, have only secured two points from a possible nine, increasing pressure on manager Nuno Espírito Santo. Solomon will aim to score against Wolves' strong offense. Wolves, also relegated from the Premier League, have seven points and are on a two-game winning streak. Raul Jimenez leads Wolves' attack, while West Ham fields Paulo in place of the Argentinian Castellanos.

Southampton, after two consecutive home wins, aim to maintain their momentum away from home. Birmingham City remains undefeated this season with two draws and a win, also harboring promotion ambitions with Augst Friska leading their attack. Daniel Peretz starts in goal for Southampton, with Kyle Lafferty up front after scoring twice in their last match.

Lisb Eisat retains his central defensive position for Bristol City, despite conceding a penalty in stoppage time during their previous win. Bristol City faces an opponent that has yet to earn any points this season. Last season, Bristol City failed to score against Preston, drawing 0-0 away and losing 2-0 at home. Scott Twine scored early for Bristol City in the current match, giving them a 1-0 lead.
