Prediction: 2-0
Wolves
After suffering a massive 5-0 loss at Fulham on Matchday 16, West Ham United will look to get back on course in the Premier League when they take on Wolverhampton on Sunday afternoon. The Hammers experienced all sorts of problems at the back in their last league match, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Michail Antonio is unlikely to recover in time to face the Wolves, but goalkeeper Alphonse Areola is fit for the match.
The visitors, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Wolverhampton, though, are on a three-game losing run on the road and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling West Ham’s party at London Stadium. Midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is back from suspension, while Rayan Ait Nouri should recover in time to face the capital club. Both Joe Hodge and Pedro Neto are out of contention with injuries.
