Israeli footballers Manor Solomon and Daniel Peretz are aiming for their first victories in the English Championship's second round this weekend. Solomon, who scored on his debut for West Ham in a 2-2 draw against Burnley, is set to start again as West Ham hosts Charlton. This match marks Solomon's first appearance in front of West Ham's home crowd, where he hopes to help the Hammers secure their first win of the season. Charlton, who won their opening game 2-1 against Derby County, have not shared a league with West Ham for 20 years, with their last meeting in 2006/07 ending in a 4-0 win for Charlton. Charlton has not won an away game against West Ham since August 2002.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Daniel Peretz will defend Southampton's goal in their home match against Stoke City. Southampton began the season with a 2-1 loss to Watford and are still dealing with a four-point deduction due to a spying scandal. Peretz aims to improve his performance at home against Stoke, who also lost their first match 2-1 but defeated Southampton 2-1 at their stadium last August. Historically, Southampton's last home league win over Stoke was a 1-0 victory in October 2014 when both teams were in the Premier League.
