Team news

Wolves
Wolves will be without Pedro Neto, Sasa Kalajdzic, Chiquinho and Boubacar Traore. Diego Costa is a doubt.

West Ham
Vladimir Coufal and Gianluca Scamacca should both brush off knocks to feature. Kurt Zouma and Alphonse Areola are still working their way back to fitness while Maxwel Cornet is sidelined.

Match preview

Wolves and West Ham both achieved top-half finishes in the Premier League last season but the pair lock horns at Molineux on Saturday embroiled in a relegation battle.

While Wolves have already acted by replacing Bruno Lage with Julen Lopetegui as manager before the World Cup, pressure is mounting on West Ham boss David Moyes with his side only a point better off than the 19th-placed Wanderers.

The Hammers will view this as a winnable fixture while Wolves also need to play on the front foot with Manchester City and Liverpool to come in their next two league games, and that points to this being an open affair.

Goals have been at a premium for Wolves this season but both teams have scored in four of Lopetegui's first six games in charge and that looks the best bet in Saturday's crunch clash at the bottom.

Key stat

West Ham's last three league games have featured ten goals.
