On 30 November, West Ham played the return leg in the Europa League against TSC Bačka Topola in Serbia. Manager Moyes made seven changes from their Premier League win at Burnley on 25 November. Injuries to both Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio and to Mohammed Kudus kept them out of the squad. In a slow and ponderous performance, West Ham won 1–0 with the only goal coming from Tomáš Souček in the 89th minute. The win secured West Ham their place in the Europa League knockout stage.[51]

December

Crystal Palace were the visitors to the London Stadium for a Premier League game on 3 December.

West Ham held on for a 2–1 win in what manager Moyes described as "one of the biggest wins I've had in football."[53] On 10 December, West Ham played Fulham at Craven Cottage. The hosts were 3–0 ahead by half-time thanks to goals from Raúl Jiménez, Willian and Tosin. Harry Wilson and Carlos Vinícius added two more in the second half to make the final score 5–0. Manager Moyes blamed the result on the exertion spent in the previous game saying, "mentally and physically we found it tough".[54] On 14 December, West Ham played the home leg against Freiburg.

Former Arsenal player, Konstantinos Mavropanos added a second, his first for the club, in the 55th minute from a header. Former West Ham player, Declan Rice gave away a penalty towards the end of the game but Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya saved the Saïd Benrahma spot-kick.
