West Ham United look to make it consecutive wins in five days as they visit Wolves at Molineux.
A win for Wolves could return them to fifth depending on how Tottenham fare elsewhere, whilst West Ham could climb to tenth if they take victory.
Team news
Embed from Getty ImagesRyan Bennett could return from Wolves if he passes a late fitness test, following a lengthy groin injury.
Willy Boly (ankle) and Morgan Gibbs-White (back) are both still ruled out.
West Ham have no fresh injury concerns as Jack Wilshire and Winston Reid near first team returns, following respective groin and knee injuries.
Lukasz Fabianski (hip) and Manuel Lanzini (shoulder) are both a month away from returning to the main squad.
Stat Attack
- Wolves are unbeaten in four of their last five Premier League meetings with West Ham (W3, D1, L1).
- Last season marked the first time that Wolves kept a clean sheet in both league meetings with the Hammers since a pair of goalless draws in 1973-74 season.
- Raul Jimenez has produced 18 shots on target for Wolves this season, double their next highest shot maker – Diogo Jota who has nine shots on target.
Prediction
Wolves did a fantastic job of snatching a point on Sunday from a tricky encounter with Sheffield United, as they stretched their unbeaten league run to nine games.
West Ham however will be buoyed by a fantastic win at Chelsea so I am expecting a tough battle in attack, which makes this a hard one to call but Wolves currently tend to specialise in league draws so am going for a score draw.
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 West Ham United
Result: Wolves 2-0 West Ham United
