(Reuters) – In-form West Ham United will welcome back Victor Moses, Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate from injury for Saturday’s Premier League match at Newcastle United, manager Slaven Bilic said. West Ham, who have risen to fifth place on the back of an eight-game unbeaten run, are set to be without striker Andy Carroll. Injury-prone Carroll suffered a hamstring strain in the 3-1 win at Bournemouth on Tuesday and Bilic said the extent of the forward’s injury was “something in between a big and little one”. “Of course we will be cautious, and it is a blow for us because he was looking really sharp. He’ll be back soon and he won’t lose much,” Bilic told reporters on Thursday. West Ham have won three successive league matches and have not lost since being thumped 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur on Nov. 22. “We want to continue the unbeaten run. First of all you are motivated enough with the Premier League. We’re playing well and want to continue looking up the table,” Bilic said.

<h2><strong>Premier League 2021/22</strong></h2>
The 30<sup>th</sup> season of the top flight professional English football, Premier League 2021/22 will take place from August 13 2021 to May 17 2022. After a not-so-thrilling title race last season against Manchester United, Manchester City emerged victorious for the Premier League title.

<h2><strong>History</strong></h2>
Comprising of four divisions until 1991, the top division of English football split up and all the teams in the top division, after multiple discussions with the football authorities and television broadcasters, formed the Premier League in 1992.

The competition format remained the same, with three clubs relegated and three clubs promoted every season, and the top four clubs in the Premier League would qualify for the Champions League.

The main reason for the change in approach was to bring in more money into the game. The first broadcast rights for the Premier League was to be won at ?304?million over five years by Sky UK. The Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 212 territories to 643?million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7?billion people.

<h2><strong>Transfer Window</strong></h2>
The Premier League has two transfer windows- Summer and Winter, where clubs can buy players. The summer transfer window generally over two months long, which begins and ends before the start of the season, while the winter transfer window is the mid-season window, which lasts the month of January.
<h2><strong>Winter break</strong></h2>
The 2019-20 Premier League was the first season to incorporate a winter break, which has always been included in major leagues across Europe. This came up after much debate about the Premier clubs having a disadvantage in the UEFA Champions League over clubs from other leagues, who come fresh from a winter break.

In February 2020, the Premier League saw one round of matches played over two weekends, with five matches on the weekend commencing February 8, and five on the weekend commencing on February 15.

<h2><strong>Prize money</strong></h2>
Prize money is drawn from broadcast revenue - TV money - and a team's monetary health come the end of the season depends on how many televised games they are involved in, as well as their final position.

The prize money for the Premier League champions is around ?150 million ($182m), although it also brings with it many other financial rewards
