Wolves vs West Ham

Wolves welcome West Ham United to Molineux on Tuesday evening, determined to secure a league double over their opponents.

Nuno Espirito Santo's men recorded a 1-0 win at the London Stadium earlier in the season - with Adama Traore netting a 93rd minute winner.

West Ham come into the game off the back of two consecutive defeats to Bournemouth in the league and then they were embarrassed by Wimbledon on Saturday night in the FA Cup.

Whereas Wolves managed to rescue a replay against lower-league Shrewsbury Town at the weekend.

 

Team News

Wolves defender Willy Boly is going to serve the final game of his three-match suspension.

Espirito Santo made six changes at Shrewsbury, but he's set to recall key players such as Diogo Jota, Rui Patricio and Raul Jiminez.

Marko Arnautovic is set to return to the West Ham squad following the transfer speculation surrounding him in the transfer window.

Ryan Fredericks could return to the team and play his first league game for over two months.

Lucas Perez is ruled out with an ankle problem.

 

The Managers

West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini: "We have played very good games and beaten the best teams but after that we haven't had the consistency to play the same way in three games in a row, except one time when we won four games in a row.

"We need to find that level of consistency going forward."

 

Match Stats

- Wolves' 1-0 win at the London Stadium in September, but the side haven't beaten a West Ham side in a top-flight home match since 1982.

- Wolves have won five of their last nine Premier League matches (D1, L3).

- West Ham could equal the amount of wins they recorded last season, with 10, if they were successful at Molineux.
