They have kept just three clean sheets since September and have the fourth-worst defensive record in the league. The Hammers have been better going forwards, ranking 11^th in the league with 35 goals in 29 games.

They have only won twice against any side placed higher than 14^th, with a record of 2W-2D-16L.

 

West Ham Team News

West Ham have a clean bill of health heading into their tie with Wolves.

 

Wolves Form

Wolves were in excellent from heading into the enforced break. They lost just once in their last eight league fixtures, picking up points against Manchester United, Leicester and Tottenham.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have drawn a league-high 13 games so far this season but have faired well against the bottom five. Six win and a loss represents a reasonable return, with a 2-1 defeat to Watford the only blotch on their copybook.

The last time these two met in the league, Wolves ran out 2-0 winners with goals from Leander Dendoncker and Patrick Cutrone.

West Ham vs Wolves Prediction

West Ham’s defence is unlikely to be able to handle Wolves’ firepower. Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota, Adama Traoré and even Matt Doherty will cause plenty of problems and should get the better of West Ham.

David Moyes’ poor record against the top sides doesn’t bode well for their prospects and the lack of home support will only make things harder.
