Match status: 2019/20 Premier League - Matchweek 15
Kick-off: Wednesday' 04 Dec 2019, 08:30pm CET
Venue: Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)

Nuno Espirito Santo deserves a pat on the back for the amazing job he has done at Wolves, turning them into a force to reckon with in the Premier League since his arrival last two summers. Last season, he led them to a sixth-place finish guaranteeing Europa League football for the Wanderers this season.

Wolves have failed to disappoint once again this season, picking up important points especially on home turf to secure a comfortable 6^th position on the log, level on points with 5^th placed Tottenham Hotspur.

As they welcome lowly West Ham on Wednesday, they will be looking to continue their impressive home form by grabbing the win, and that too in style.

Wolves v West Ham Team News

Wolves were forced to dig really deep for a point last time out against Sheffield United as they came from a goal behind to secure a draw. After going behind early in the game, it wasn’t until the 64^th minutes before the Wanderers finally found a way past the opposition goalkeeper to salvage a point.

West Ham, on the other hand, for all their struggles on the road, recorded a shocking 1-0 win over Frank Lampard’s Chelsea even at Stamford Bridge on the last match-day. Manuel Pellegrini must have given his players the next day off to congratulate them for their efforts in that fixture.

While they deserve some accolades for registering a win over the Blues at the Bridge, their inconsistency this season has been laid bare for everyone to see. As such, that win might not count for much as they travel to the dreaded Molineux Stadium.

In contrast, the hosts have been very consistent this season, avoiding losses in most of their games. In fact, they have lost just twice this season after featuring in 14 games. Leicester City are the only other team to have managed a similar record this season. At home, they have a single defeat of note, and that was against high-flying Chelsea.

More importantly, the home side are on a six-game unbeaten run and remained so in 14 of their last 15. The Molineux Stadium has become something of a fortress under Nuno Espirito Santo, losing just two games in their last 22 fixtures across all competitions, one against Chelsea and the other in the Europa League.

Their opponents for tomorrow are without a win in eight of their preceding nine fixtures and have lost five of their last seven. On their travels, they are winless in five of their previous six and have lost two of their last three games.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Wolves: Willy Boly.

West Ham: Lukasz Fabianski, Manuel Lanzini, Jack Wilshere.
